$100,000,000 in grants helps states build the systems
What the document says“$100,000,000 for fiscal year 2026 for purposes of awarding grants under paragraph (1)(A), to remain available until expended; and”
The section requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award each State a grant, sized by that State's share of applicable individuals as of March 31, 2025, and to distribute a further sum equally among the States, so that States can build the systems needed to carry out this section and related eligibility work. It appropriates $100,000,000 for fiscal year 2026 for the first of those, to remain available until expended, with further amounts for the second.
What the document actually says“$100,000,000 for fiscal year 2026 for purposes of awarding grants under paragraph (1)(A), to remain available until expended; and”
One hundred million dollars is set aside for fiscal year 2026. It pays for grants to the states. The money stays there until it is spent.
Each state's grant follows its share of covered people. A second pot is split evenly. The money builds the systems the rules need.
