Program Overview
Many people have become reliant on public benefit programs to help them with their medical care, medication needs, as well as for food and nutritional needs. In addition, disabled individuals rely on public benefits to help them maintain the highest possible quality of life.
The purpose of this program is to provide information on how the OBBBA will impact these programs. We will explore how eligibility rules have changed and how the implementation of the benefit programs will be different. We will also discuss how nursing home staffing rules have been changed as well.
Learning Objectives
- Provide a basic understanding of the public benefit programs in question, such as Medicare, Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, and the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act
- Explain how OBBBA has impacted these programs
- Provide a timeline as to when these changes will take effect
- Discuss nursing staffing issues that will come into play as a result of the Act.
