Minnesota HF665 modifies income eligibility for aged, blind, or disabled persons seeking medical assistance.

Minnesota HF665 amends income eligibility criteria for aged, blind, or disabled persons seeking medical assistance. It allows individuals to have income up to 100 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. For children under 19, the limit is 275 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. The bill also disregards increases in income for certain individuals and requires the commissioner to disregard Medicare premium costs when computing income eligibility. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, or upon federal approval, whichever is later.
