7. ARPA Spending Plans

 

To mitigate the fiscal effects of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) provided for a 10-percentage point increase in federal matching funds for Medicaid home and community-based services (“HCBS”) from April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022, provided the states satisfied certain conditions. States were generally permitted to use the state funds equivalent to the additional federal funds through March 31, 2025, but CMS granted extensions to several states, permitting some state spending plans to continue until as late as mid-2026. States must use the monies attributable to this matching fund increase to supplement, not supplant, their level of state spending for the implementation of activities enhanced under the Medicaid HCBS in effect as of April 1, 2021.

 

HCBS spending plans for the additional matching funds vary by state, but common initiatives in which the Company is participating include those aimed at strengthening the provider workforce (e.g., efforts to recruit, retain, and train direct service providers). The Company is required to properly and fully document the use of such funds in reports to the state in which the funds originated. Funds may be subject to recoupment if not expended or if they are expended on non-approved uses.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not receive additional state funding provided by the ARPA. Of the total state funding received by the Company pursuant to the ARPA through June 30, 2025, the Company utilized $0.8 million and $3.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, primarily for caregivers and adding support to recruiting and retention efforts, included as a reduction of cost of service revenues in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2025, the deferred portion of ARPA funding of $7.9 million is included within Government stimulus advances on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
