Medicaid entitlement for 41 - FY 2022 - T21

The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded a $175.3 million Block Grant to the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services under the Children's Health Insurance Program for fiscal years 2022 through 2023. The grant will support Nevada's administration of the CHIP program, which aims to provide health insurance coverage to uninsured children in low-income families and at state option, pregnant women and legal immigrants. As the designated state awardee, Nevada Health and Human Services will deliver CHIP services through its Director's Office until the grant's completion date of September 30, 2023. The state agency will also administer subawards and program implementation through the Office of the Governor. This funding will maintain and expand access to healthcare for vulnerable populations in Nevada by supporting children's health insurance assistance through the CHIP program.
