Medicaid pays family caregivers for kids

Starting January 1, 2027, Nevada Medicaid pays a family member to give personal care to an eligible child. The child must be under 18, on Medicaid, eligible for personal care services, and have a diagnosed disability or chronic illness that limits daily living. Personal care services follow Nevada’s definition in NRS 449.1935. The Health and Human Services Department runs this like other Medicaid services and applies for any needed federal waiver or State Plan change to receive federal match.

Startup funds for caregiver payments

Effective July 1, 2025, the state funds startup and early operations for the caregiver payment program. It appropriates $135,086 for FY 2025–26 and $414,251 for FY 2026–27 to the Division of Health Care Financing and Policy. The Division may also spend $306,334 in FY 2025–26 and $616,026 in FY 2026–27 from non‑state sources for the same purpose. Unused money cannot be spent after September 18, 2026 (FY 2025–26) or September 17, 2027 (FY 2026–27) and must return to the State General Fund.
