On September 27, 2024, CMS released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for 4-year planning grants to state Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) agencies to address operational barriers and promote continuity of care for Medicaid- and CHIP-eligible individuals who are inmates of a public institution, such as a state prison, local or county jail, tribal jail, or youth correctional or detention facility. Up to 56 recipients (states and territories) were eligible for the planning grants. Eligible applicants were given two opportunities to apply. In January 2025, CMS announced the first round of grant awards to the following 12 states and territories: Alaska, District of Columbia, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Puerto Rico, South Dakota, Utah, and Virginia.
Today, CMS is announcing the second and final round of grant awards to the following 17 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia. The awards for these recipients range from $1.2 million to $4.6 million per state.
