Medicaid Empowerment Act of 2025

This bill extends renewal periods for state Medicaid waivers providing home and community-based services from five to ten years. It directly affects states administering these waivers, allowing them longer planning horizons without frequent reauthorization. Key provisions amend specific sections of the Social Security Act to replace "five-year periods" with "10-year periods" for waiver extensions and renewals starting after the bill's enactment. The change aims to provide greater stability for states managing Medicaid programs serving people with disabilities and elderly individuals in community settings.
