Key Findings:

• Forty-four MFP states transitioned 11,217 new participants during 2016. At the end of 2016, there were 9,995 current participants, an increase from 289 current participants at the start of the program in 2008.
• From January 2008 to December 2016, the cumulative number of individuals that transitioned to the community through MFP totaled 75,151—a 19 percent increase over the cumulative number as of December 2015 (63,321).
• The 44 MFP grantee states reported qualified community-based LTSS expenditures (total federal and state funds spent on LTSS for all Medicaid beneficiaries, including but not limited to MFP participants) that totaled approximately $84.2 billion in 2016, an increase of 13 percent from 2015 ($74.5 billion).
• In an assessment of Quality of Life data collected from MFP participants by grantee states, we found participants reported improvements across several quality of life domains after transitioning to the community, including increases in life satisfaction, satisfaction with living arrangements, satisfaction with care received, and community integration. One year after transitioning to the community, approximately 9 percent of participants reported volunteering in the community and 7 percent reported working for pay.
