Monitoring Federal Changes and Impacts on Oregon

May 16, 2025: A federal district court judge issued a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit brought by 23 states, including Oregon, against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) over the termination of public health and behavioral health grants, without cause or authority. This ruling ensures federal funding can continue flowing while litigation proceeds. 

HHS, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), had abruptly terminated roughly $117 million in COVID-era grants and funding for Oregon Health Authority programs, an impact that would have been felt in all nine federally recognized Tribal communities and in every county in Oregon.

OHA will be communicating directly with each affected partner and local public health authority in the coming days.

At this time, no changes have been made to Oregon Health Plan and Healthier Oregon.
