The Momnibus Act is a comprehensive, bipartisan maternal health reform bill that addresses preventable maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and health disparities affecting pregnant and postpartum individuals across the United States. The bill establishes a 14-title framework creating federal task forces, grant programs totaling hundreds of millions of dollars (primarily 2027-2031), and new initiatives to expand maternal healthcare workforce diversity, improve perinatal care quality, address social determinants of health, expand WIC eligibility to 24 months postpartum, reduce racial bias in maternity care through training and compliance programs, and enhance support for vulnerable populations including incarcerated individuals, American Indian and Alaska Native communities, and those affected by climate change and mental health crises. Key programs include over $100 million in community grants addressing non-medical health factors, $15 million annually for diverse perinatal provider training, $25 million annually for maternal mental health services, and $190 million for CDC and NIH maternal health surveillance and research during public health emergencies. The bill requires multiple agency coordination, mandates bias-reduction training for all maternity care staff, establishes demonstration projects testing new payment models for maternity care, and includes accountability measures such as Government Accountability Office oversight and annual congressional reporting through 2031.
