Bill Summary
Relative to MassHealth benefits for single individuals. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend existing Massachusetts law regarding MassHealth, a state program that provides health insurance to low-income individuals and families. Specifically, it seeks to add a new provision that allows a single person, widow, or widower to have up to $100,000 in monetary assets and still be eligible for MassHealth assistance. This change would override any other laws, rules, or regulations that might otherwise prevent individuals with this level of assets from receiving MassHealth benefits.
