For Black families
Roughly 4,800 Black residents are enrolled in Granite Advantage Health Care Program, per the most recent CMS T-MSIS analytic file. The number understates true eligibility: every state has Black eligibles who aren't currently enrolled, usually because of the administrative-churn rates that rose sharply during the 2023 unwinding.
New Hampshire reauthorized expansion through SB 263 in April 2023 without the Trump-era work requirements that briefly applied. HB 1535 (2024) ordered the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a doula benefit State Plan Amendment for filing in 2025.
