Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to remove a limitation on payments for certain home or communitybased services waivers under the Medicaid program.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "HCBS Worker Protection Act of 2025", proposes to remove a specific limitation on payments for Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers under the Medicaid program. Specifically, the bill amends Section 1915(c)(11) of the Social Security Act by striking out subparagraph (C), which currently places some form of restriction on HCBS waiver payments. HCBS waivers are a Medicaid program that allows states to provide services and supports to people with disabilities and chronic health conditions in their homes and communities, rather than in institutional settings like nursing homes. By removing this limitation, the bill aims to potentially expand or improve financial support for HCBS services, though the exact details of the current limitation and its specific impact are not provided in the bill text. The legislation suggests an intent to enhance support for home and community-based care services and the workers who provide them.
