Pennsylvania HB654 amends the Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract for the Elderly Needs Enhancement Tier to adjust income eligibility limits.
Pennsylvania HB654 modifies the income eligibility criteria for the Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract for the Elderly Needs Enhancement Tier (PACENET). It raises the upper income limit for single individuals from $33,500 to $45,000 and for married couples from $41,500 to $55,000. This change aims to ensure that more eligible seniors can access enhanced pharmaceutical assistance. The bill also allows individuals to round their income to the nearest whole dollar when reporting to the department, eliminating amounts less than 50¢.
