Who is eligible to apply...
Under Title XVIII, States enter into Section 1864 agreements with the Secretary of Health and Human Services whereby the designated agency of the State will be supported or reimbursed for on-site inspection of health care providers and suppliers. The designated State agency is usually that unit performing licensure activities within the State health department. Under Title XIX, the Federal government reimburses States for the Federal Financial Participation share for costs of inspection. Such participation is dependent on an approved State activity plan.
Credentials/Documentation
States must have an approved State Plan for Title XIX and a signed 1864 Agreement for Title XVIII in order to carry out the survey function. Costs will be determined in accordance with OMB Circular No. A-87 for State and local governments.

About this section:
This section indicates who can apply to the Federal government for assistance and the criteria the potential applicant must satisfy.
For example, individuals may be eligible for research grants, and the criteria to be satisfied may be that they have a professional or scientific degree,
3 years of research experience, and be a citizen of the United States. Universities, medical schools, hospitals, or State and local governments may also be eligible.
Where State governments are eligible, the type of State agency will be indicated (State welfare agency or State agency on aging) and the criteria that they
must satisfy.
Certain federal programs (e.g., the Pell Grant program which provides grants to students) involve intermediate levels of application processing, i.e., applications
are transmitted through colleges or universities that are neither the direct applicant nor the ultimate beneficiary. For these programs,
the criteria that the intermediaries must satisfy are also indicated, along with intermediaries who are not eligible.
