Bill > S878

This bill proposes to modify the asset limits for MassHealth, which is Massachusetts' Medicaid program that provides health care coverage for low-income residents. Specifically, the bill amends an existing law to allow individual applicants or recipients to have up to $10,000 in assets and married applicants or recipients to have up to $15,000 in assets while still qualifying for MassHealth benefits. By increasing these asset limits, the bill aims to make it easier for more low-income individuals and couples to access essential health care coverage by not disqualifying them based on modest savings or financial resources.
