Section 1003 of the SUPPORT Act directs the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to issue three Reports to Congress and the Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to issue one Report to Congress. CMS has released the Initial Report to Congress which provides details on (1) the states awarded planning grants under the SUPPORT Act section 1003 demonstration, (2) the criteria used to select these states, and (3) initial activities proposed or carried out under the planning grants. Findings are from the first 13 months of the planning period of the demonstration (September 30, 2019–October 31, 2020) and are drawn from state applications and progress reports.
