Bill > H626

This bill aims to increase the personal needs allowance for certain elderly and disabled residents residing in licensed medical facilities, such as nursing homes, chronic hospitals, and rest homes. The bill amends three different sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to set the personal needs allowance at $100 per month, and requires that this amount be increased annually at the same rate as increases to state supplementary payments for individuals maintaining their own homes. The goal is to ensure that these residents have adequate funds for clothing, personal needs, and leisure activities while residing in these licensed facilities.
