On August 26, 2026, CMS awarded $10 million in Navigator cooperative agreement awards to 35 returning organizations who will continue serving as Navigator awardees in states with a FFM. These awards support the work of organizations that offer assistance to consumers navigating, shopping for, and enrolling in health insurance coverage for plan year 2027.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Latest official CMS marketplace-assister page confirms the 2026 Navigator awards remain at $10 million, so the funding level had not been restored as of the current lookback window.

``(B) Federal exchanges.--For purposes of carrying out this subsection, with respect to an Exchange established and operated by the Secretary within a State pursuant to section 1321(c), the Secretary shall obligate $100,000,000 out of amounts collected through the user fees on participating health insurance issuers pursuant to section 156.50 of title 45, Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor regulations) for fiscal year 2026 and each subsequent fiscal year.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): A current-Congress bill would restore Navigator funding to $100 million annually for federal exchanges, but it is introduced bill text rather than enacted law, so it documents effort rather than delivery.
