Summary:
This bill, recently introduced in the US House of Representatives (HR 1264), would amend Title XIX of the Social Security Act to provide states with additional funding for the purpose of increasing the wages for those who support people with disabilities. H.R. 1264 is designed to provide a financial incentive (additional temporary federal funding) to states to reimburse private providers for increased wages and mandated wage-related costs for specific direct support professionals.
