Notice on Rhode Island’s Medicaid 1115 Demonstration Waiver

Executive Office of Health and Human Services·September 24, 2026
Notice on Rhode Island’s Medicaid 1115 Demonstration Waiver

The Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services issued a notice regarding the status of its Medicaid 1115 Demonstration Waiver. Due to a high volume of state submissions, CMS is unable to approve the state's new waiver request by the end of the calendar year and intends to issue a 12-month extension of the current waiver.

HNH Insight

While this specific notice focuses on the administrative extension of Rhode Island's waiver, it highlights the ongoing federal backlog for 1115 demonstration approvals, which directly impacts states seeking to implement new health-related social needs initiatives like nutrition services.
