Modification of Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program Eligibility Guidelines in Response To Honor Our Living Donors Act
What happened
On July 1, 2026, HRSA proposed modifications to the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program (LODRP) eligibility guidelines. These changes respond to the Honor Our Living Donors (HOLD) Act, enacted in February 2026. The HOLD Act prohibits considering an organ recipient's household income when determining a living organ donor's reimbursement eligibility. This notice responds to comments and finalizes these Program Eligibility Guidelines.
Why it matters
This change makes it easier for living organ donors to get reimbursed for their expenses by removing a financial barrier. It ensures that a recipient's financial situation doesn't prevent a donor from receiving support. This could encourage more living organ donations by reducing financial disincentives.
