The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services $625,475,409 on October 1, 2025, under the Grants to States for Medicaid block grant program (CFDA 93.778). The award funds medical assistance payments on behalf of cash assistance recipients, children, pregnant women, the aged, and categorically eligible groups, including medically-needy persons who would qualify for cash assistance except for income or resources. The award covers the period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with performance in Virginia. DMAS administers Virginia's Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP, locally known as FAMIS) as the single state agency responsible for healthcare coverage delivery to low-income individuals across the state. States under this program receive quarterly grant awards based on estimates of funds needed to provide medical assistance, with participating providers delivering care to eligible individuals.
