An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in public assistance, providing for medical assistance for complex care assistant services.

SB 1041 amends Pennsylvania's Human Services Code to expand public assistance coverage for complex care assistant services. It directly affects individuals requiring long-term, specialized personal care due to disabilities or chronic conditions. The bill establishes a new provision requiring the state to provide medical assistance for these services under the public assistance program. This changes existing coverage by explicitly including complex care assistants, who help with daily living tasks like bathing, feeding, and medication management. The bill is currently pending in the Health & Human Services committee.
