Bill > AB1649

This bill increases the monthly amount for personal and incidental needs for individuals in medical institutions or nursing facilities under the Medi-Cal program, which is California's health care program for low-income individuals funded by federal and state sources, from $35 to $50. This increase is contingent on obtaining necessary federal approvals and will be adjusted annually for cost-of-living increases. The bill also makes changes to how income levels for maintenance are calculated for certain individuals, particularly those in institutional settings or receiving services from a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) organization, and includes provisions for obtaining federal approval and legislative appropriation before certain changes take effect.
