HF 1961 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Minnesota supplemental aid program modified.

HF 1961 modifies Minnesota's Supplemental Aid (MSA) program, which provides financial assistance to eligible elderly, blind, or disabled residents. It clarifies eligibility for people denied Supplemental Security Income (SSI) due to income or resources by requiring state medical review for blindness/disability (amending Minn. Stat. § 256D.425). The bill tightens reporting rules: recipients must report income changes within 10 days (amending § 256D.405), and failure to submit required monthly reports results in benefit termination. It also adjusts income calculation methods for different recipient groups (amending § 256D.435), ensuring countable income aligns with SSI standards. These changes directly affect MSA applicants and recipients who rely on this program for support.
