For legislation to provide emergency aid to certain elderly and disabled residents. Elder Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide emergency aid and assistance to certain elderly and disabled residents in the Commonwealth. Specifically, it would ensure that homeless individuals who are otherwise eligible for the General Laws Chapter 117A program receive the same payment rate as those who have established shelter costs, such as rent or a mortgage. Additionally, the bill proposes annual increases to the total budget of each eligible recipient based on changes in the Consumer Price Index, and sets the maximum benefit for the Chapter 117A program at the same level as the Chapter 118 program. The bill also specifies asset limits for assistance units, excluding the fair market value of one vehicle when determining countable assets.
