Medicaid entitlement for 38 - FY 2022 - T21

The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded a $101.25 million Block Grant to the New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services from October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. The award was provided through the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) federal grant program (CFDA #93.767).

The objective of the CHIP program is to provide funds to states to maintain and expand health assistance for uninsured, low-income children, as well as low-income pregnant women and legal immigrants under certain eligibility guidelines. It can reasonably be inferred the award will enable the New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services to deliver medical coverage and care to underserved populations in the state through the end of FY2022 by leveraging the federal funding support provided under this Block Grant award.
