Bill > A1049

This bill increases the personal needs allowance to $50 per month for recipients of Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) who are veterans or spouses of veterans, and provides for an annual cost-of-living increase in the allowance. It also increases the personal needs allowance for certain other Medicaid and SSI recipients from $10 to $20 per month, with the same annual cost-of-living increase. The bill requires the Commissioner of Human Services to apply for necessary state plan amendments to secure federal financial participation for the Medicaid expenditures, and to seek federal approval for the administrative plan for the SSI personal needs allowance increase.
