Bessey v. Nebraska

On March 19, 2026, the Lancaster, Nebraska District Court published the text of Bessey v. Nebraska (first amended petition). The complaint seeks review of an administrative agency decision and requests declaratory judgment and injunctive relief (Case Number CI 26-441). The lawsuit challenges the state's use of a "black box" algorithm and the interRAI assessment tool, which led to severe, unexplained funding cuts for plaintiffs with developmental disabilities relying on Medicaid supportive services . . .
