The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services Division of Medicaid and Medical Assistance $4,256,404 on October 1, 2025, under the Grants to States for Medicaid block grant program (CFDA 93.778).

The award funds payments of medical assistance on behalf of cash assistance recipients, children, pregnant women, the aged, and other categorically-eligible groups meeting income and resource requirements in Delaware. The award covers the period from October 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025.

Under the Grants to States for Medicaid program, states receive quarterly allocations based on their estimates of funds needed to provide medical assistance to eligible populations. Financial assistance also covers Medicare premiums, copayments, and deductibles for qualified Medicare beneficiaries meeting certain income thresholds. Individuals receive medical care through providers participating in the Medicaid program, and states must operate under an HHS-approved Medicaid State Plan and comply with all applicable federal regulations.
