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.
