39% : Even before the freeze was to go into effect, on the morning of Jan. 28, Medicaid stopped dispensing funds to states, Head Start providers could not reach their funding to make payroll, and federal agencies began to indicate they might not be dispensing previously guaranteed funding to a number of social services and state-run programs.
