Announcements and Alerts

2025 Basic Needs Allowance

A Cost of Living Adjustment will be made to Social Security benefits in 2025, increasing benefits by 2.5%. This means that residents receiving Certified Family Home (CFH) services whose care is fully or partially paid for by Medicaid have the right under Section 39-3516(4)(a), Idaho Code, to retain at least $132 of their monthly income in 2024 for personal spending, up from $129 in 2024. CFH providers may charge the remainder for room and board or (if Medicaid is only a partial payer) care. If a CFH provider opts to increase charges to a resident, per IDAPA 16.03.19.260.04.m please give written notice of the increase to the resident or their representative at least 30 days in advance of implementing the increased charges.
