The New Jersey Department of Human Services received a $11,273,828,466.00 federal Block Grant award under the Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This funding supports the administration of Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) services across New Jersey, including medical care payments, eligibility determinations, claims processing, and overall program oversight to ensure access and quality of healthcare for low-income populations such as cash assistance recipients, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. The Department utilizes this substantial federal Block Grant award to directly deliver essential healthcare services and also channel resources to local non-profit and government sub-awardees that aid in implementing crucial Medicaid and CHIP programs statewide.
