The House extended the 100 percent federal money provision fromJune's disaster relief lawin theFY20 Continuing Resolutionsigned on Thursday. Though improving the federal-local matching rate in this way is a longstanding goal of the Marianas and all the insular areas, we still have to provide more money for our Medicaid programs.
