Bill summary

Directs the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to ensure that eligibility criteria for Medicaid home and community-based waivers allow a dependent of a Armed Forces member to maintain the dependent's waiver status when the member is transferred to an assignment outside of North Carolina if the member is retaining North Carolina as the legal residence to return to after military service. Sets out other provisions concerning placement and reinstatement of waiver slots.

Requires DHHS to submit any Medicaid State Plan amendments or waiver amendments necessary to accomplish the above.
