Medical assistance income limit for people with disabilities and people ag 65 and over increase provision

SF 548 amends Minnesota law to increase the income limit for medical assistance eligibility for two groups: people with disabilities and Minnesotans aged 65 and older. The bill raises the allowable income threshold from 100% to 133% of the federal poverty guidelines for these individuals, making it easier for them to qualify for medical assistance without losing benefits. This change applies to those covered under specific sections of Minnesota Statutes related to medical assistance eligibility. The amendment is set to take effect January 1, 2026.
