States are building CHW infrastructure specifically as a hedge against federal Medicaid funding cuts (DOGE-era threats to matching funds). Milbank Memorial Fund's August 2025 framing: 'State Strategies for Engaging Community Health Workers Amid Federal Policy Shifts' signals states are planning for CHW programs WITHOUT federal matching funds. This is the inverse of the Medicare Advantage dynamic—states are building resilience infrastructure anticipating federal pullback, while MA reform is forced by fiscal arithmetic.

EXTRACTION HINT: Don't just extract the number of states. Extract the pattern: steady incremental progress on CHW coverage is now threatened by federal funding uncertainty from DOGE/Medicaid cuts, adding a new risk dimension to the scaling timeline.

## Key Facts
- 20 states had full CHW Medicaid SPAs as of March 2024 (Session 1 baseline)
- More than half of state Medicaid programs now have some form of CHW/P/CHR coverage and payment policy as of January 2025
- Four new SPAs approved in 2024-2025: Colorado, Georgia, Oklahoma, Washington
- Approximately 24-25 states now have full CHW SPAs
- 7 states now have dedicated CHW offices (up from fewer in Session 1)
- 15 states have Section 1115 waivers for CHW services (stable from Session 1)
- CHW FFS payment rates range from $18 to $50 per 30 minutes (January 2025)
- Milbank Memorial Fund published model SPA guidance in November 2025
- Transportation remains the largest overhead for CHW programs and is not covered by Medicaid as a CHW program cost
- Community care hub model emerging as coordination layer between payers, CBOs, and CHW workforce
