The "HCBS Worker Protection Act of 2025" aims to amend Title XIX of the Social Security Act, which governs the Medicaid program. Specifically, it proposes to remove a financial limitation on payments for certain home or community-based services (HCBS) waivers. This is achieved by striking subparagraph (C) from Section 1915(c)(11) of the Social Security Act. This subparagraph currently caps the average per capita expenditures for individuals receiving services under these waivers. Eliminating this restriction could provide states with greater flexibility in funding and expanding access to essential HCBS programs for Medicaid beneficiaries.
