An Act increasing the personal needs allowance for long term care residents

Summary

The bill raises the amount low‑income residents in nursing homes, chronic hospitals, rest homes and similar facilities can keep for clothing, personal items and leisure to $113.42 each month. If a resident’s income is lower, the state will pay the shortfall in advance. The allowance will be adjusted each year at the same rate used for people who live independently and receive state supplemental payments.
