Federal Grant Award Summary

The State of Georgia Department of Law received a formula grant award of $4,035,978.00 from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the State Medicaid Fraud Control Units program (CFDA 93.775), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The award funds Georgia's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit to investigate and prosecute Medicaid provider fraud and patient abuse or neglect occurring in health facilities, board and care facilities, and non-institutional settings. The unit provides critical services to protect Medicaid beneficiaries and maintain program integrity across the state.

The grant supports the department's capacity to conduct comprehensive criminal investigations, pursue legal prosecutions against fraudulent Medicaid providers, and deliver victim services. Funding is distributed quarterly throughout the fiscal year to sustain operations of this single, identifiable state government entity that is certified by CMS and subject to annual re-certification by the Office of Inspector General. This represents Georgia's continuation of formula grant support under the State Medicaid Fraud Control Units program, which has provided consistent annual funding to the department across multiple consecutive fiscal years.
