The head of Delaware's Medicaid program says the federal stimulus package could provide a $225 million boost to the state.
Harry Hill told lawmakers Wednesday that Delaware could get more than $92 million in
Medicaid stimulus money in the current fiscal year, and almost $134 million in the fiscal
year starting July 1.
The state received $60 million in Medicaid stimulus money this week for Medicaid
expenses dating back to October, an amount that exceeds the current fiscal year deficit
of about $56 million.
While revenue forecasters could adjust the deficit number at their meeting later this
month, officials said another $32 million
in Medicaid stimulus money may be available to resolve the current fiscal year deficit.
