DMHA. 1. Indiana’s 24 community mental health centers are the backbone of mental health and substance use disorder service delivery. They are facing a dual challenge due to the COVID-19 pandemic. First, although many of them have been creative and flexible in the use of telehealth they maintain some key services, they have experienced declining revenues and many have furloughed or laid off employees. Second, the pandemic has resulted in an explosion of behavioral health challenges, and the CMHCs are a key part of Indiana’s response to meet those needs. They are needing an injection of funding to be able to meet that need. Additionally, CMHCs pay the state match portion for the Medicaid Rehabilitation Option (MRO) program. Therefore, by providing them with CRF funding, the State would be able to retain the 6.2% enhanced FMAP amount for the MRO program (estimated at $10 million for Q1 and Q2 of this fiscal year), while still providing a much needed boost to the CMHCs. Estimated funding request of $9,000,000 to address this need. DMHA will perform a true-up when final MRO expenditures for the quarter ending 6/30/2020 are made available in July 2020. Total Requested Amount: $35,000,000 Amendment 1 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING Between the INDIANA STATE BUDGET AGENCY and the INDIANA FAMILY AND SOCIAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION This is an Amendment to the existing Memorandum of Understanding entered into by and between the Indiana State Budget Agency (hereinafter referred to as SBA) and the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (hereinafter referred to as FSSA) approved by the last State signatory on June 25, 2020.
