Government urges end to Medicaid transfer loophole
The Health Care Financing Administration warned states to stop temporarily shifting funds into state Medicaid accounts to boost federal match. In a firm letter, HCFA Director Timothy M.

The practice, legal via a loophole, allows states to borrow or move funds to gain larger federal matches and then divert a portion of the funds to non Medicaid programs.
