HB 4960 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Provide an increase in salary to WV Birth to Three contracted therapists and employees

HB 4960 would require a 25 percent increase in payments for therapists and other professionals who contract with the West Virginia Birth-to-Three program to provide early intervention services. This applies specifically to providers not employed by the state, who serve children with developmental delays. The payment increase takes effect on July 1, 2026, as mandated by the bill's amendment to the state code governing the program's funding. The change directly impacts contracted service providers under the Birth-to-Three program, improving their compensation for delivering early intervention services.
