42 CFR § 483.158

§ 483.158 FFP for nurse aide training and competency evaluation.

This regulation governs federal financial participation (FFP) for state expenditures on nurse aide training and competency evaluation programs, treating these costs as administrative expenses matched under Medicaid. FFP is available only when nurse aides are employed by, or receive an offer of employment from, a facility within 12 months of completing the program. Facility operators should ensure nurse aide training programs meet these conditions to qualify for federal matching funds.
