The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services $6.761 million in Medicaid entitlement funding under CFDA 93.778 (Grants to States for Medicaid) on October 1, 2025. The award supports medical assistance payments on behalf of cash assistance recipients, children, pregnant women, the aged, and other categorically-eligible groups meeting income and resource requirements, including medically-needy persons in Virginia. The funding covers a twelve-month period of performance from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 and is obligated for performance in Virginia. DMAS administers Virginia's Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP, known locally as FAMIS) as the single state agency responsible for healthcare administration and coverage delivery to low-income individuals across the state. The agency operates under an HHS-approved Medicaid State Plan and must comply with all federal regulations governing medical assistance to the needy.
