Bill > LD327

This bill provides ongoing funding for in-home personal support services for senior citizens through the Maine Department of Health and Human Services. Specifically, the bill allocates $1,000,000 from the General Fund and $1,631,588 from the Federal Expenditures Fund in both fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27 to support services under the MaineCare Benefits Manual, Chapter II, Section 19, which covers Home and Community Benefits for the Elderly and Adults with Disabilities. These funds will help ensure that qualified senior citizens can continue to receive personal support services in their homes, which can help maintain their independence and quality of life while potentially reducing the need for more expensive institutional care.
