SAFER Nursing Homes Act of 2024
HR 9529, the SAFER Nursing Homes Act of 2024 (despite its title referencing "Sustained Allocations" in the text), provides mandatory funding for inspections of nursing facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid. It allocates $492 million for fiscal year 2025 specifically to support surveys and certifications of skilled nursing facilities and nursing facilities under federal programs. This funding directly affects Medicare/Medicaid-certified nursing homes by ensuring resources for required regulatory oversight. The bill does not create new rules but secures financial support for existing inspection processes, with future funding determined annually by the Health and Human Services Secretary.
