relative to family caregiver support in certain programs and child care support for kinship caregivers.

Summary

The legislation directs the Department of Health and Human Services to seek CMS approval to cover family caregiver support services under the Acquired Brain Disorder and Choices for Independence home‑ and community‑based waivers. It also eliminates the child‑care scholarship cost‑share fee for households where all enrolled children are in kinship care and expands work‑requirement eligibility to include treatment programs and retirement. The goal is to strengthen support for caregivers and lower financial barriers for relatives caring for children.
