The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, in part, scheduled a phase out of the enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) rates that was enacted due to the public health emergency.  This letter transmits the FMAP rates for calendar year 2023.

The phase out of the enhanced FMAP rate as follows: 

• January through March 2023 – 6.2%.
• April through June 2023 – 5%.
• July through September 2023 – 2.5%.
• October through December 2023 – 1.5%.

The resulting FMAP rates for Ohio are: 

• January through March 2023 – 69.78%.
• April through June 2023 – 68.58%.
• July through September 2023 – 66.08%.
• October through December 2023 – 65.80%.

Title IV-E agencies do not need to take any action with respect to the changes in FMAP rates when reporting expenditures. The Ohio Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System will assure that the appropriate FMAP rate is applied
