Summary
The Safe Staffing Saves Lives Act amends the Social Security Act to set specific minimum staffing ratios for Medicare‑ and Medicaid‑certified nursing and skilled‑nursing facilities beginning Jan. 1, 2029. It mandates at least 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident each day, including 24‑hour on‑site RN coverage, and gives the Secretary of Health and Human Services authority to enforce the rules and withhold payments for facilities that fall short. The bill also allows limited waivers for facilities that can demonstrate severe staffing constraints.
