HOMECAREMAG.COM: HCBS Relief Act Would Increase Federal Medicaid Match
U.S. Senator Bob Casey, chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, has introduced the Home and Community-Based Service Relief Act to provide support to state programs that fund home- and community-based long-term care services. The bill would provide dedicated Medicaid funds to states for two years to stabilize their HCBS service delivery networks, recruit and retain HCBS direct care workers and meet the long-term service and support needs of people eligible for Medicaid home- and community-based services.
