A communication from the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (see item 4000-0601 of Section 2 of Chapter 9 of the Acts of 2025) submitting the transfer certification to the Medicare Savings program from the prescription advantage program and the Health Safety Net Trust Fund for fiscal year 2025

This bill submits a required report from the Executive Office of Health and Human Services to the state legislature regarding the implementation of expanded eligibility for the Medicare Savings Program in Massachusetts. The report details monthly enrollment figures for seniors and disabled individuals with incomes above 133 percent of the federal poverty level, noting that total enrollment grew from approximately 31,000 to nearly 44,000 between July 2024 and June 2025. It also confirms that no funds were transferred from the Prescription Advantage program or the Health Safety Net Trust Fund to the General Fund during fiscal year 2025, as increased program coverage reduced reliance on those safety net resources.
