Possible uses and use restrictions...
(1) The State Planning Grant Program provides 1-year grants to States to develop plans for providing access to affordable health insurance coverage to all citizens. Each State will design an approach that would ensure every citizen in that State has access to affordable health insurance benefits similar in scope to the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan, Medicaid, benefits offered to State employees, or other similar health plans. At the conclusion of the grant, each State will submit a report to the Secretary of Health and Human Services that identifies the characteristics of the uninsured within its State and proposals for providing them with affordable health insurance coverage. Together, these reports will provide additional data about the characteristics of the uninsured generally and potential models for other States seeking to provide comprehensive coverage. (2) Funding provided through this program may not be used to substitute for or duplicate funds currently supporting similar activities. In addition, grant funds may not be used to support construction, renovation, or modernization costs. Grant funds may support costs such as: a) Project staff salaries; b) consultants; c) project-related travel; d) project evaluation; e) limited equipment and software purchases or leases; and f) coordinating and conducting project-related meetings.
