Overview: 2022 Fiscal Year Budget for the Department of Community Health
Gov. Brian Kemp proposed a 2022 budget of $3.48 billion in state general funds for the Department of Community Health. General funds for the agency increased by $430 million from the 2021 fiscal year, mostly to offset the expected loss of federal Medicaid matching funds and account for growth in Medicaid expenses.
Federal funding for the agency is $8.7 billion in the 2022 fiscal year that begins July 1, 2021. The proposed state budget also allots a total of $671 million from other state funds including nursing home and hospital provider fees and money from a tobacco industry legal settlement. This is a $28 million decrease in those funds compared to the 2021 budget year. The budget includes another $3.75 billion from the State Health Benefit Plan, which manages health insurance coverage for state employees, retirees and their dependents.
