This bill states the Legislature's intent to appropriate specific funds to the Department of Health and Human Services for Medicaid assisted-living facility rates. Specifically, the bill proposes allocating $7,926,576 for fiscal year 2025-26 (comprised of $3,345,808 in General Funds and $4,580,768 in Federal Funds) and $8,243,639 for fiscal year 2026-27 (with $3,479,640 in General Funds and $4,763,999 in Federal Funds). These funds are designated to increase the current Medicaid assisted-living facility rates within Program 348, which is part of Nebraska's aged and disabled home and community-based Medicaid 1915(c) waiver program. The bill aims to raise the daily rate to $88.24 for fiscal year 2025-26 and $91.78 for fiscal year 2026-27, applying to both rural and urban assisted-living waiver days. This appropriation is intended to support and improve Medicaid-funded assisted-living services in Nebraska.
