The bill proposes appropriations to support the Department of Health and Human Services in Nebraska for the fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. Specifically, it allocates $2,000,000 from the Medicaid Managed Care Excess Profit Fund for each of these fiscal years, designated for Program 571. Additionally, the bill stipulates that these funds are to be used exclusively for state aid, with a clear prohibition against using the appropriated funds for permanent and temporary salaries and per diems for state employees.
Furthermore, the bill emphasizes that the appropriated funds for both fiscal years will include $2,000,000 in Cash Funds specifically earmarked for state aid. This structured financial support aims to enhance the effectiveness of Medicaid services while ensuring that the funds are utilized solely for their intended purpose, thereby promoting accountability in the use of state resources.
