Bill > HF664

This bill increases the medical assistance income limit for certain groups of people with disabilities and seniors by raising the threshold from 100 percent to 133 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. Specifically, the bill modifies Minnesota Statutes to allow people with disabilities, parents or caretaker relatives, and certain other specified groups to qualify for medical assistance at a higher income level. The income limit increase will apply to individuals eligible under various subdivisions of section 256B.055, including those aged 19-20, those under age 19, and other specific categories of recipients. The bill includes provisions that disregard certain income increases when calculating eligibility and specifies that veteran aid and attendance benefits are considered income for some recipients. The changes will become effective on January 1, 2026, which gives state agencies time to prepare for the implementation of the new income limits.
