Medicaid 1115 HRSN Waivers Expire: Rescinded Guidance & Renewal Risks

Acuity·October 30, 2026
Medicaid 1115 HRSN Waivers Expire: Rescinded Guidance & Renewal Risks

This article examines the precarious status of Medicaid 1115 waivers that fund housing and nutrition support services following the withdrawal of federal guidance in March 2025. It highlights that states are now facing increased scrutiny and administrative pressure during the renewal process for these health-related social needs (HRSN) programs.

HNH Insight

The article underscores a shift in federal policy where the previous framework for social-needs services has been rescinded, forcing states to justify nutrition and housing interventions on a case-by-case basis during waiver renewals.
