7. ARPA Spending Plans

In recognition of the significant threat to the liquidity of financial markets and challenges to healthcare providers posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve and Congress took dramatic actions to provide liquidity to businesses and the banking system in the United States and to assist healthcare providers, including through relief legislation such as the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”). The ARPA provided for $350 billion in relief funding for eligible state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments to mitigate the fiscal effects of the COVID-19 public health emergency. Additionally, the law 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 state 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. 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 months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2025, the Company utilized $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, 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 March 31, 2025, the deferred portion of ARPA funding of $8.7 million is included within Government stimulus advances on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
