Section 1318. Alternative Federal payment with respect to public assistance expenditures
In the case of any State which has in effect a plan approved
under subchapter XIX of this chapter for any calendar quarter, the
total of the payments to which such State is entitled for such
quarter, and for each succeeding quarter in the same fiscal year
(which for purposes of this section means the 4 calendar quarters
ending with September 30), under paragraphs (1) and (2) of sections
303(a),(!1) 1203(a),(!1) 1353(a),(!1) and 1383(a) (!1) of this
title shall, at the option of the State, be determined by
application of the Federal medical assistance percentage (as
defined in section 1396d of this title), instead of the percentages
provided under each such section, to the expenditures under its
State plans approved under subchapters I, X, XIV, and XVI of this
chapter, which would be included in determining the amounts of the
Federal payments to which such State is entitled under such
sections, but without regard to any maximum on the dollar amounts
per recipient which may be counted under such sections. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the term "Federal medical
assistance percentage" shall, in the case of Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Islands, and Guam, mean 75 per centum.
