Nursing Home Workforce Support and Expansion Act of 2024
HR 7929, the Nursing Home Workforce Support and Expansion Act of 2024, allocates $400 million annually (2025-2028) to states for grants supporting nursing home staff. It directly affects workers like home health aides, nurse aides, and personal care aides in eligible facilities (e.g., nursing homes, hospices) by requiring states to use funds for wage subsidies, student loan repayment, childcare, and transportation assistance. States must also report annually on how funds are spent and track metrics like worker retention, wages, and job categories. The bill prohibits using grant funds to replace existing state spending on staffing and mandates transparency through detailed federal reporting.
