What the bill says
On the agenda for Board of County Commissioners — 2026-04-07 — 2026-04-07. Agenda section: CONSENT
Background
The Department of Community Resources, Office on Aging division receives funding through the Maryland Department of Aging to operate Maryland Access Point (MAP), the state’s Aging and Disability Resource Center program. MAP provides a “no wrong door” system that connects older adults, individuals with disabilities and caregivers to long-term services and supports through information, referral and assistance. MAP funding is structured under a Federal Financial Participation (FFP) model, allowing the county to claim 50% federal reimbursement for eligible Medicaid administrative activities under a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services approved plan.
Discussion
Execution of the 2025-2030 MAP FFP Agreement is required for the county to provide MAP services and continue receiving reimbursement for eligible activities. The agreement formalizes participation in the existing funding structure and ensures compliance with federal and state requirements.
Coordination
