Block Grant 2505OR5021

This $1,427,335,487.00 federal block grant award under the Children's Health Insurance Program (CFDA 93.767) was provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) on January 1, 2025. The grant funding will enable OHA to maintain and expand health insurance coverage for uninsured, low-income children in Oregon, and at the state's option, low-income pregnant women. OHA, through its OHA Public Health Financial Services Division, will use the grant to process medical claims, determine program eligibility, and conduct outreach to enroll eligible families in the state's Medicaid and CHIP programs. As the designated state health agency, OHA often partners with local health departments, universities, and community organizations as sub-recipients to deliver these essential healthcare services statewide.
