Sources and how to read them

Every number here should trace back to a public document, so you can check it. Only the state decides who is eligible and who gets funded. Nothing on these pages is a promise of funding.

What the words mean

First-year award
The amount CMS announced for each state on December 29, 2025. It is money available to the state, not money available to you.
Budget period 1 award
The award as CMS lists it in its obligations report. It matches the announcement to the dollar in every state except Oregon, where CMS's report shows about $5 million less. The report does not say why.
Put to work
CMS's phrase for what a state reports it has obligated to state agencies, contractors, community partners, hospitals and facilities. It does not mean the money has been spent, or that it has reached patients.
Open round
A state or program notice accepting applications today, based on my last check of that notice. A round drops off on its own once its posted date passes.

When it was checked

  • State money: the CMS report, with data as of Jul 31, 2026. CMS says it will refresh after the November 30, 2026 quarterly reports, and I will update these pages when it does.
  • State rounds: a review of all 50 state programs on Nov 7, 2026, and a second read of the near-term rounds on Nov 9, 2026. Each round shows its own date. The review covers what I could find on official pages, so it can miss things.
  • Plans: the dates, dollars and round status in a plan come from this data. AI writes the words around them, and a check removes any dollar figure or date it adds that is not in the data.

Where the official numbers do not add up

I show the figures as CMS printed them. In 9 states, the category lines in the report differ from the state's own headline: Connecticut ($7,002,036), Delaware ($48,795), Georgia ($851,000), Iowa ($5,467,801), Missouri ($9,219,642), Montana ($10,941,753), Nevada ($42,000), Tennessee ($83,225), Washington ($4,091,160). Iowa's report also misprints one amount as $5,4967,800.72, so that line is left out rather than guessed at. In 16 states, the line items differ from the headline as well, and the state page says so. Hawaii is the largest: several of its line items do not match the category totals above them.

State totals: the announced awards sum to $10,000,000,003 because CMS rounded each to the dollar. The report's budget period 1 awards sum to $9,995,000,000 because of Oregon.

States I could not fully confirm

For these states, the official pages did not settle whether a round is open: Colorado, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, West Virginia. If you are in one of them, call the program office first.
