What it does
The HCBS Worker Protection Act of 2025 would amend the Social Security Act to remove a payment limitation for certain home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers under Medicaid. Specifically, it strikes subparagraph (C) of Section 1915(c)(11), which currently restricts federal funding for these services. This change would allow states to receive full Medicaid payments for HCBS waivers without the existing cap, potentially increasing access to in-home and community-based care for Medicaid beneficiaries who rely on such services. The bill affects Medicaid recipients, HCBS providers, and state Medicaid programs by eliminating a financial barrier to service delivery.
