Bill Summary
Provides that an individual shall not become ineligible under the EPIC program due to an increase in social security benefits or a public or private pension where such increase does not exceed the consumer price index.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Elder Law to provide that an individual shall not become ineligible for the EPIC (Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage) program due to an increase in their social security benefits or a public or private pension, as long as the increase does not exceed the consumer price index. This ensures that seniors are not disqualified from the EPIC program simply because of small cost-of-living adjustments to their retirement income, which helps maintain their access to affordable prescription drug coverage.
