Cost-of-Living Fairness Act
This bill allows individuals applying for government benefits to deduct certain insurance costs from their reported income when determining eligibility. It covers auto insurance for vehicle owners, home/renter insurance, and flood insurance for primary residences. These deductions apply to both federal programs (like SNAP or Medicaid) and state/local programs receiving federal funding. The change directly affects people seeking assistance by reducing their counted income for benefit calculations.
