Medicaid entitlement for 38 - FY 2024 - T21

The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) received a $56,555,483 federal block grant award from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) through the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), CFDA 93.767. This funding will be used by NH DHHS to maintain and expand health insurance coverage for uninsured, low-income children in the state, as well as provide coverage for low-income pregnant women if the state chooses. The grant award period is from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. As the state Medicaid agency, NH DHHS frequently sub-awards portions of this block grant funding to local providers, nonprofits, and community organizations to facilitate direct service delivery and outreach activities across New Hampshire. The goal of the CHIP program is to improve access to affordable medical care, reduce financial burdens on families, and promote overall child health and well-being.
