SAFER Nursing Homes Act

The Sustained Allocations For Evaluations and Reviews of Nursing Homes Act (SAFER Nursing Homes Act) increases funding for CMS Survey and Certification Activities in the upcoming fiscal year to $492 million (21% above Fiscal Year 2023 funding)  In subsequent fiscal years, the SAFER Nursing Homes Act reforms the CMS Survey and Certification funding stream to classify it as a mandatory funding stream, as opposed to a discretionary funding stream, meaning that comprehensive and sustained funding will be reliably available for the oversight activities going forward.
