Evidence that CMS announced and allocated funding awards to all 50 states under the Rural Health Transformation Program.
An official CMS press release dated December 29, 2025 states that the agency "announced that all 50 states will receive awards under the Rural Health Transformation Program" and includes a state-by-state award list, confirming that funding awards were made to every state on that date. The American Hospital Association’s coverage the same day similarly reports that CMS "announced $50 billion in funds awarded to all 50 states" through the program. Independent summaries from NASHP and Hall Render also describe the December 29, 2025 CMS announcement as the first-year Rural Health Transformation funding awards to all 50 states. Based on these corroborating sources, the statement that CMS announced funding awards to all 50 states on December 29, 2025 is accurate. Therefore, the verdict is True because primary and secondary sources consistently confirm the timing and nationwide scope of the awards.
