Bill Summary
For legislation relative to spousal waiver for home and community based services for physically disabled adults age 60 and under. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill directs the Massachusetts Division of Medical Assistance to request a federal waiver from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to allow individuals with progressive physical disabilities, aged 19 to 60, who qualify for nursing home-level care, to receive home and community-based services without their spouse's income and assets being counted when determining their eligibility. This is intended to provide support for these individuals to live in their homes and communities, similar to how the existing waiver regulations for seniors aged 60 and older operate.
