HCBS Relief Act of 2025
Introduced Jun 12, 2025 by Sen. Ben Ray Luján
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill temporarily increases the applicable Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (i.e., federal matching rate) under Medicaid for certain approved home- and community-based services that are provided during FY2026-FY2027.
As a condition for receiving the increased rate, a state must agree to undertake activities to improve the delivery of such services, such as by providing additional benefits to home health workers and by helping individuals who were relocated to nursing facilities move back to their homes.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
