DPHHS added this to its program homepage on Monday:
Important notice about the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding: On Oct. 30, 2026, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) told States that their announcement of Year 2 RHTP funding will be delayed. CMS will notify states about their Year 2 awards later in November. In the meantime, CMS will continue to fund States’ administrative costs, and all other current RHTP programming utilizes Year 1 funding. Because of this, DPHHS does not expect any interruption in program implementation.
