SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. QI Allotments for FY 2012
Section 110 of the Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-309, enacted on December 15, 2010) (MMEA) extended the authority and funding for the QI program for the first quarter of FY 2012 (that is, through December 31, 2011) by providing $280 million available for the first quarter of FY 2012. Section 310 of the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 (Pub. L. 112-78, enacted on December 23, 2011) (TPTCA) provided temporary continued authority and an additional $150 million in funding for the QI program for the period January 1, 2012 through February 29, 2012. With the enactment of TPTCA, the QI program was authorized and funded at a total amount nationally of $430 million ($280 million plus $150 million) for FY 2012 through February 29, 2012. Section 3101 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-96, enacted on February 22, 2012) (MCTRJCA) extended the authority and funding for the QI program for FY 2012; in particular, authority for the QI program was extended for all of FY 2012 and funding for the program for the period January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012 was increased to $450 million. Therefore, the total funding available for the QI program for FY 2012 is $730 million ($280 million plus $450 million).
B. QI Allotments for FY 2013 and Thereafter
Section 3101 of the MCTRJCA extended the authority and funding for the QI program by providing $280 million, available for the period October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the first quarter of FY 2013. Most recently, section 621 of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-240, enacted on January 2, 2013) (ATRA), extended the authority for the QI program for all of FY 2013 and provided $485 million in additional funding for the program for the period January 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013. Therefore the total funding available for the QI program for FY 2013 is $765 million ($280 million plus $485 million).
Finally, section 621 of ATRA further extended the authority and funding for the QI program by providing $300 million, available for the period October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, the first quarter of FY 2014.
C. Methodology for Calculating the Fiscal Year QI Allotments.
The amounts of the states' final FY 2012 and preliminary FY 2013 QI allotments, contained in this notice, were determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in existing regulations at 42 CFR 433.10(c)(5) and reflect funding for the QI program made available under the legislation discussed above.

The following describes the information contained in the columns of Chart 1 and Chart 2:
Column A- State. Column A shows the name of each state. Columns B through D show the determination of an Initial QI Allotment for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or FY 2013 (Chart 2) for each state, based only on the indicated Census Bureau data.
Column B- Number of Individuals. Column B contains the estimated average number of Medicare beneficiaries for each state that are not covered by Medicaid whose family income is at least 120 but less than 135 percent of the federal poverty level. With respect to the final FY 2012 QI allotment (Chart 1), Column B contains the number of such individuals for the years 2008 through 2010, as obtained from the Census Bureau's Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the 2011 Current Population Survey. With respect to the preliminary FY 2013 QI allotment (Chart 2), Column B contains the number of such individuals for the years 2009 through 2012, as obtained from the Census Bureau's Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey.
Column C- Percentage of Total. Column C provides the percentage of the total number of individuals for each state, that is, the Number of Individuals for the state in Column B divided by the sum total of the Number of Individuals for all States in Column B.
Column D- Initial QI Allotment. Column D contains each state's Initial QI Allotment for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or FY 2013 (Chart 2), calculated as the state's Percentage of Total in Column C multiplied by the total amount available nationally for QI allotments for the fiscal year. The total amount available nationally for QI allotments each fiscal year is $730,000,000 for FY 2012 (Chart 1) and $765,000,000 for FY 2013 (Chart 2).
Columns E through L show the determination of the States' Final QI Allotments for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or Preliminary QI Allotments for FY 2013 (Chart 2).
Column E - FY 2012 or FY 2013 Estimated QI Expenditures. Column E contains the states' estimates of their total QI expenditures for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or FY 2013 (Chart 2) based on information obtained from states in the summer of 2012 and as updated.
Column F- Need (Difference). Column F contains the additional amount of QI allotment needed for those states whose estimated expenditures in Column E exceeded their Initial QI allotments in Column D for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or for FY 2013 (Chart 2) for such states, Column F shows the amount in Column E minus the amount in Column D. For other "Non-Need" States, Column F shows "NA".
Column G- Percent of Total Need States. For states whose projected QI expenditures in Column E are greater than their initial QI allotment in Column D for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or FY 2013 (Chart 2), respectively, Column G shows the percentage of total need, determined as the amount for each Need State in Column F divided by the sum of the amounts for all states in Column F. For Non-Need States, the entry in Column G is "NA".
Column H - Reduction Pool for Non-Need States. Column H shows the amount of the pool of surplus QI allotments for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or FY 2013 (Chart 2), respectively, for those states that project QI expenditures for the fiscal year that are less than the Initial QI allotment for the fiscal year (referred to as non-need States). For states for which the estimates in Column E of QI expenditures for FY 2012 or FY 2013, respectively, are equal to or less than their Initial QI allotments in Column D for FY 2012 or FY 2013, respectively, Column H shows the amount in Column D minus the amount in Column E. For the states with a need, Column H shows "Need". The reduction pool of excess QI allotments is equal to the sum of the amounts in Column H.
Column I- Percent of Total Non-Need States. For states whose projected QI expenditures in Column E are less than their Initial QI allotment in Column D for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or FY 2013 (Chart 2), Column I shows the percentage of the total reduction pool in Column H, determined as the amount for each Non-Need State in Column H divided by the sum of the amounts for all States in Column H. For Need States, the entry in Column I is "Need".
Column J- Reduction Adjustment for Non-Need States. Column J shows the amount of adjustment needed to reduce the Initial QI allotments in Column D for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or FY 2013 (Chart 2) for Non-Need States in order to address the total need shown in Column F. The amount in Column J is determined as the percentage in column I for Non-Need States multiplied by the lesser of the total need in Column F (equal to the sum of Needs in Column F) or the total Reduction Pool in Column H (equal to the sum of the Non-Need amounts in Column H). For Need States, the entry in Column J is "Need".
Column K- Increase Adjustment for Need States. Column K shows the amount of adjustment to increase the Initial QI Allotment in Column D for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or FY 2013 (Chart 2) for Need States in order to address the total need shown for the fiscal year in Column F. The amount in Column K is determined as the percentage in Column G for Need States multiplied by the lesser of the total need in Column F (equal to the sum of Needs in Column F) or the total Reduction Pool in Column H (equal to the sum of the Non-Need amounts in Column H). For Non-Need States, the entry in Column K is "NA".
Column L- Final FY 2012 QI Allotment (Chart 1) or Preliminary FY 2013 QI Allotment (Chart 2). Column L contains the Final QI Allotment for each state for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or the Preliminary QI Allotment for FY 2013 (Chart 2). For states that need additional QI allotment amounts for the fiscal year based on Estimated QI Expenditures in Column E as compared to their Initial QI allotments in Column D for the fiscal year (states with a projected need amount are shown in Column F), Column L is equal to the Initial QI allotment in Column D for FY 2012 (Chart 1) or FY 2013 (Chart 2) plus the amount determined in Column K for Need States. For Non-Need States (states with a projected surplus in Column H), Column L is equal to the QI Allotment in Column D reduced by the Reduction Adjustment amount in Column J.
