Explanation:
(This amendment provides funding to increase the state share of the maximum monthly auxiliary grant (AG) rate by fifteen percent from $1,048 to $1,200 on July 1, 2007. A separate amendment to Item 302 provides for an increase in Medicaid enrollment as a result of this increase. The local share of funding ($3.0 million) is not reflected in this amendment. The auxiliary grant is the primary source of funding for assisted living for low-income Virginians. In June 2006, JLARC reported that Virginia’s auxiliary grant rate was “well below the market price” in paying for 33 to 59 percent of the average cost of assisted living facility care.)
