relative to family caregiver support in certain programs and child care support for kinship caregivers.
II. Remainder Effective 05/28/2026
Summary
SB 608 directs New Hampshire’s Department of Health and Human Services to get CMS approval to cover caregiver counseling, training and peer support under the Acquired Brain Disorder and Choices for Independence waivers. It also eliminates the family cost‑share for child‑care scholarships when all children in a household are cared for by a relative, and expands the work‑requirement to include treatment programs and retirement. The changes aim to keep families caring for loved ones at home and ease the financial burden on grandparents and other kinship caregivers.
