Massachusetts H1371 aims to ensure equal access to community care for elders and persons with disabilities.

Massachusetts H1371 seeks to support equal access to community care for elders and persons with disabilities by amending Medicaid eligibility criteria. The bill modifies the income threshold for Medicaid eligibility, ensuring that individuals with excess income are still eligible for certain services. It excludes those in the "special income eligibility group" from this provision. The bill also adjusts the payment structure for medical care or service, requiring individuals to pay an amount equal to their excess income, subject to specific exceptions.
