Modification of Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program Eligibility Guidelines in Response To Honor Our Living Donors Act
Plain English Summary
Starting July 1, 2026, the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program will change its eligibility rules. This change is due to a new law called the Honor Our Living Donors Act, which says that a living organ donor's eligibility for reimbursement cannot be based on the income of the organ recipient's household. Insurance agents should stay informed about these changes to assist clients who are living organ donors and may benefit from this program.

On July 1, 2026, HRSA published a notice in the Federal Register to solicit comments on proposed modifications to the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program (LODRP or Program) eligibility guidelines in response to the Honor Our Living Donors (HOLD) Act. The HOLD Act, enacted in February 2026, prohibits consideration of an organ recipient's household income in determining a living organ donor's eligibility for reimbursement. This notice responds to the comments received and finalizes the Program Eligibility Guidelines.
