Anyone know anything else about this? Senators Kerry and Grassley Introduce Empowered at Home ActThursday, August 14, 2008 By: Carin Yavorcik

Bill would support long-term services and supports

Senators Kerry (D-MA) and Grassley (R-IA) introduced the Empowered at Home Act (S. 3327) on July 24, 2008. The bill has four basic parts. First, it would improve the Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) state plan option by giving states more flexibility in determining eligibility and by increasing the services states can offer under the program. This is expected to create greater options for individuals in need of long-term supports. In return, states could no longer cap enrollment and services would have to be offered throughout the entire state. The other three sections would address: spousal impoverishment protections for the HCBS option; tax-related provisions to support caregivers and promote purchase of private long-term care insurance; and grants for states to invest in organizations and systems that can help to ensure a sufficient supply of workers, promote health and ensure more consumer-centered HCBS.
