The Medicaid Food Security Policy Dashboard offers a searchable collection of state-level examples showing how Medicaid can be used to address food insecurity among children and families. The Medicaid Food Security Network reviewed Medicaid 1115 waivers, managed care contracts, and other policy documents to identify strategies being used across the country.
Users can search the dashboard by state or strategy to explore approaches such as food insecurity screening and referral, assistance and navigation, data and evaluation, food security investments and benefits, and integration of SNAP, WIC and Medicaid. Examples include Medicaid managed care requirements, community health worker and navigator models, and nutrition supports such as medically tailored meals, produce prescriptions and groceries.
The dashboard is designed as a resource for organizations and advocates looking to understand what is possible and identify approaches that could inform policy change in their own states. While it is not an exhaustive inventory, it provides a robust collection of real-world examples and links users to source materials for deeper exploration.
