# Nebraska Medicaid Long-Term Care

Last updated 2026-10-20

Nebraska houses its long-term-care Medicaid program inside the Department of Health and Human Services, specifically under a division DHHS calls Medicaid and Long-Term Care, or MLTC for short. If a family is trying to figure out where Nebraska long-term-care funding questions actually get answered, MLTC is the policy home and the right starting point.

MLTC's reach goes beyond simply cutting checks for nursing-home stays. DHHS describes Medicaid itself as serving low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities broadly, while community-based services are reserved for people who separately qualify for a Medicaid waiver. That distinction matters for planning purposes — financial Medicaid eligibility, the setting where care happens, and the functional standard tied to a specific service are three separate questions that all need answering.
