Announcements and Alerts
2026 Basic Needs Allowance
A Cost of Living Adjustment will be made to Social Security benefits in 2026, increasing benefits by 2.8%. This means that residents receiving Certified Family Home (CFH) services whose care is fully or partially funded by Medicaid have the right under Section 39-3516(4)(a), Idaho Code, to retain at least $136 of their monthly income in 2026 for personal spending, up from $132 in 2025. CFH providers may charge the remainder of the resident’s monthly income 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 your new charges.
