Arizona Department of Economic Security FY 2027 Budget Request
This budget request details ADES's FY2027 funding priorities—including developmental disability services, child care, IT modernization, and compliance with H.R. 1—and outlines projected fiscal impacts, caseload growth, and programmatic needs across the state
The budget proposes $9.38 billion in total funding for FY 2027, including $611.6 million for developmental disability caseload and capitation growth, $44.9 million for child care access, and $25.3 million for IT modernization.
It highlights significant cost pressures from new H.R. 1 requirements—such as expanded SNAP work requirements up to age 64 and biannual Medicaid redeterminations—projected to affect over 520,000 Arizonans and necessitate $35 million to expand eligibility and compliance staff. The document also emphasizes sustaining critical programs like Adult Protective Services, SUN Bucks summer food benefits, and Reentry Services, while modernizing DES technology through the statewide A-to-Z Arizona Portal to prevent fraud and improve benefit delivery.
