The HCBS Relief Act of 2025 is designed to provide additional federal funding for state Medicaid programs, specifically targeting home and community-based services (HCBS). The goal is to enhance the quality and availability of these services, enabling individuals to receive support in their homes and communities rather than in institutional settings. One of the key provisions of the Act is a 10 percentage point increase in the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) for states participating in HCBS programs during the fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
