Increases personal needs allowance to $100 for low-income persons residing in certain facilities.

This bill increases New Jersey's monthly personal needs allowance (PNA) from $50 to $100 for low-income residents of nursing homes, state/county psychiatric hospitals, and state developmental centers who qualify for Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). It directly affects eligible residents in these facilities by doubling their monthly allowance, which they may use for personal expenses like phone calls, meals, clothing, or hobbies. The allowance is separate from care costs, meaning any income above $100 is applied toward facility expenses. This change aligns New Jersey with states offering higher PNAs and ensures SSI recipients receive a total allowance matching Medicaid recipients' current level.
