The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded a $700,833,233 Medicaid block grant to the North Dakota Department of Human Services (NDDHS) for the period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. This funding is provided under the Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778), which supports state-administered Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) services.
The grant enables NDDHS to deliver a wide range of critical healthcare services and financial assistance to low-income populations in North Dakota, including cash assistance recipients, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. Key activities funded under this block grant include medical care payments, eligibility determinations, claims processing, and overall program oversight to ensure quality and access to healthcare for Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries across the state. NDDHS frequently sub-awards portions of the federal funding to local government entities, tribes, non-profit organizations, and community providers to implement services at the local level.
