About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services operates the Demonstration to Maintain Independence and Employment program (CFDA 93.769), which has not awarded new grants since April 2008 — 18 years ago.
The program funds state-level demonstrations designed to prevent employment loss and reliance on cash assistance among individuals at risk for disability, providing Medicaid-equivalent benefits to workers with physical or mental impairments that would result in disability without medical support. Recent funded activities included the Texas Demonstration (Block Grant awarded January 2002 for $21.3 million) and the Hawaii Demonstration (Project Grant awarded July 2006 for $6.4 million).
The portfolio comprises eight total awards distributed as 75 percent Project Grants and 25 percent Block Grants, all funded exclusively by CMS. Combined federal dollars obligated total $12.8 million across the portfolio, though this figure reflects multiple awards with negative obligations that appear to represent deobligations or adjustments rather than net new funding. Award activity peaked in 2002 and 2006, with three awards in 2002 and four in 2006, then ceased after a single award in 2008.
No recent grant opportunities are posted. The program has been inactive from a funding perspective for nearly two decades. Business development professionals should treat this as a dormant line and monitor for potential reactivation through future federal fiscal year NOFOs, though the extended gap between the final award and present suggests institutional momentum behind this demonstration model has stalled.
