Medicaid entitlement for 63 - FY 2026 - T19

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded the Department of Health Wyoming $1,960,784 in Medicaid Entitlement block grant funding on October 1, 2025, under the Grants to States for Medicaid program (CFDA 93.778). The award funds medical assistance payments on behalf of cash assistance recipients, children, pregnant women, the aged meeting income and resource requirements, and other categorically-eligible groups, including medically-needy persons in states electing such coverage and qualified Medicare beneficiaries for premium, copayment, and deductible assistance. The funding obligated covers the period October 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, and supports Medicaid administration and beneficiary services statewide in Wyoming. Awards under this program are distributed quarterly to states based on estimated funds needed; the Department of Health Wyoming must maintain records substantiating direct and indirect costs and operate under an HHS-approved Medicaid State Plan in compliance with federal regulations.
