Medicaid entitlement for 48 - FY 2026 - T21

The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded the Puerto Rico Department of Health $88,713,917 for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CFDA 93.767) on October 1, 2025. This block grant entitlement funds the territorial CHIP program to provide health care coverage to uninsured and low-income children in Puerto Rico through September 30, 2027. The award operates as a federal-state matching program with capped federal funding; Puerto Rico administers the program through its territorial health agency and has the option to operate a separate CHIP program, expand eligibility for children under its Medicaid program, or operate a combination of these options. The recipient, doing business as Odsi - Linea Interactiva, administers CHIP alongside its larger Medicaid entitlement program, which represents the bulk of its federal health financing. Performance occurs in Puerto Rico. This award is part of the FY 2026 CHIP allocation to the territory and represents one of multiple quarterly distributions spanning the October 2025 through September 2026 fiscal year.
