    In the case of any State which has in effect a plan approved under

1353(a),\1\ and 1383(a) \1\ of this title shall, at the option of the 
State, be determined by application of the Federal medical assistance 
percentage (as defined in section 1396d of this title), instead of the 
percentages provided under each such section, to the expenditures under 
its State plans approved under subchapters I, X, XIV, and XVI of this 
chapter, which would be included in determining the amounts of the 
Federal payments to which such State is entitled under such sections, 
but without regard to any maximum on the dollar amounts per recipient 
which may be counted under such sections. For purposes of the preceding 
sentence, the term ``Federal medical assistance percentage'' shall, in 
the case of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam, mean 75 per
