Medicaid Empowerment Act of 2025

This bill allows state Medicaid programs to renew home- and community-based services waivers (also known as Section 1915(c) waivers) in 10-year periods. Currently, these waivers may be extended in five-year periods; waivers allow state Medicaid programs to cover long-term care services that are provided in home or community settings rather than in institutional settings.
