PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

States must provide non-Federal money or value equal to at least $1 for every $3 of Federal grant money before the Federal Government will give a grant for this program. The state can give cash or items and services (like equipment or help), and these can come from the state or be donated by public or private groups. Only non-Federal amounts that are fairly valued count, and you cannot count federal money or services that the Federal Government pays for or heavily helps pay for. The state can only count money above its average non-Federal spending for the same purpose during the two-year period before the first year it applies. Money the state spends under Title XIX (Medicaid) for the same purposes must be counted too, if it follows the other counting rules.
