New Hampshire expanded Medicaid in 2014 through a bipartisan compromise. The program was initially temporary and required periodic reauthorization before being made permanent in 2019.

Benefits in New Hampshire

New Hampshire has a very low uninsured rate (under 7%) due to its Medicaid expansion and strong employer coverage. The state administers SNAP, Medicaid (called NH Medicaid), TANF (called TANF-FAP), and childcare assistance through county-level district offices. New Hampshire has no state income tax or sales tax, which limits state-funded benefit supplements, but the state uses all available federal programs. New Hampshire's SNAP outreach focuses on rural and elderly populations.

Main agency: New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
