# §95.624. Consideration for FFP in emergency situations.


For ADP equipment and services acquired by a State after December 1, 1985 to meet emergency situations, which preclude the State from following the requirements of [§ 95.611](/cfr/45/95.611.md), the Department will consider providing FFP upon receipt of a request from the State which is reflected in a record. In order for the Department to consider providing FFP in emergency situations, the following conditions must be met:

- (a) The State must submit a request to the Department, prior to the acquisition of any ADP equipment or services. The request must be reflected in a record, and include:
  - (1) A brief description of the ADP equipment and/or services to be acquired and an estimate of their costs;
  - (2) A brief description of the circumstances which result in the State's need to proceed prior to obtaining approval from the Department; and
  - (3) A description of the harm which will be caused if the State does not acquire immediately the ADP equipment and services.
- (b) Upon receipt of the information, the Department will within 14 days take one of the following actions:
  - (1) Inform the State in writing that the request has been disapproved and the reason for disapproval; or
  - (2) Inform the State in a communication reflected in a record, that the Department recognizes that an emergency exists and that within 90 days from the date of the State's initial request, the State must submit a formal request for approval which includes the information specified at [§ 95.611](/cfr/45/95.611.md) in order for the ADP equipment or services acquisition to be considered for the Department's approval.
- (c) If the Department approves the request submitted under [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section, FFP will be available from the date the State acquires the ADP equipment and services.
