Summary
A bill to provide for an emergency increase in Federal funding to State Medicaid programs for expenditures on home and community-based services.
Plain-language summary
The HCBS Relief Act of 2023 would increase federal money given to states for Medicaid programs that help people receive care at home or in their communities instead of in institutions. Medicaid is a joint federal-state health insurance program for low-income people. Home and community-based services, or HCBS, include things like personal care assistance and day programs. The bill treats this funding increase as an emergency measure. The bill was introduced in the Senate and is currently in the early stage of consideration.
