The New Landscape: HR1 and What's at Stake for Family Caregivers
2026-02-26 14:00 - 15:15 (America/New_York)
With the passage of H.R. 1, the definition of “community engagement” has fundamentally shifted, creating a new and urgent challenge for the millions of family caregivers who rely on Medicaid. While the law technically includes an exemption for caregivers, the burden of proof and the technical hurdles of verification threaten to disenroll those who are already providing essential, unpaid care.
This webinar, hosted by the National Alliance for Caregiving, dives into the technical and political realities of H.R. 1 through a caregiving lens. We will examine the “pain points” of implementation—from the lack of automated verification for caregiving hours, to the administrative strain on state agencies. Featuring experts from across the caregiving ecosystem, we will provide a comprehensive look at how states are navigating these new mandates.
