Interim study to examine Nebraska statutes and the processes relating to the developmental disability and the aged and disabled waivers and the tools used to assess developmental disabilities

This legislative resolution directs the Nebraska Health and Human Services Committee to conduct an interim study on the state's waiver programs for developmental disabilities and aging services. The study will examine eligibility rules, funding caps, assessment tools used to determine disability needs, and the impact of algorithm-based evaluation methods. It also looks at how individuals with disabilities might benefit from transitioning to a specific Social Security status for Medicaid eligibility. The committee will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature after completing the review.
