Care for Military Kids Act

What this bill does

States must treat active-duty military members and their families receiving home and community-based services as state residents even if relocated due to military orders.
Active-duty service members and their dependents receiving Medicaid-covered home and community care are affected.
The requirement takes effect in 2028, with federal implementation funding provided through fiscal year 2030.
