AI Summary
This bill seeks to include certain income levels in calculating nursing home benefits payable under the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), a program that provides comprehensive healthcare services to older adults and individuals with disabilities. Specifically, the bill proposes that individuals with gross incomes greater than 300% of the federal Supplemental Security Income level but less than the average monthly cost of nursing home care, who are participating in a Home and Community Based Waiver or a PACE program, shall be charged a monthly premium equal to the difference between their gross income and 300% of the federal Supplemental Security Income level. This change aims to support equal access to community care for elders and the disabled.
