Bill Summary
Relative to Medicaid resource limits for seniors. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to update Medicaid resource limits for seniors in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would increase the monthly income limit to 138% of the federal poverty level and exempt the cash surrender value of life insurance policies as well as up to $10,000 per individual and $20,000 per couple in resources. The bill requires the state's Medicaid program, known as MassHealth, to submit a plan amendment and promulgate regulations to implement these new income and resource exemptions.
