California SB433 protects elderly residents in assisted living facilities from rent exceeding their personal and incidental needs allowance.

California SB433 amends the Health and Safety Code to ensure that licensed residential care facilities for the elderly do not impose rent controls. It also adds a provision to the Welfare and Institutions Code, stating that these facilities cannot charge Medi-Cal enrollees a room and board rate that exceeds the difference between their income and the personal and incidental needs allowance. This allowance is set for Supplemental Security Income/Supplemental Security Payments recipients in nonmedical out-of-home care.
