A proposal by Indiana Medicaid officials would drastically cut payments that thousands of families of people with disabilities relied on. State officials say it's necessary to curb ballooning utilization and plug a huge budget gap. But some families worry the changes could lead to them losing their jobs or even their homes.

More than 1,600 children with disabilities would be impacted by the states proposal to change how their caregivers are compensated through Medicaid. The Family and Social Services Administration said the growth of the program is unsustainable.

Families of medically complex children say proposed Medicaid cuts would take away a vital caregiving resource. House Democrats say these families shouldn't pay the price for the Medicaid shortfall. They want Republican leaders to protect the attendant care program.

The Family and Social Services Administration has added another round of its employer-sponsored child care grants. The $25 million child care fund uses a part of the state's unused COVID-19 relief money from the pandemic.
