Medical assistance income limit increased for persons with disabilities and persons age 65 and over.

HF 664 increases Minnesota's medical assistance income limit for two groups: Minnesotans with disabilities and people age 65+ who qualify for state medical aid. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes § 256B.056, raising the income threshold from 100% to 133% of the federal poverty guidelines. This change, effective January 1, 2026, allows more individuals in these categories to qualify for medical assistance without losing benefits due to higher income. It directly affects current or prospective recipients of medical assistance under specific eligibility categories (subdivisions 7, 7a, and 12 of § 256B.055).
