An Act relative to asset limits for MassHealth

This bill proposes to change the asset limits for MassHealth, which is Massachusetts' Medicaid program. It directly affects individual applicants or recipients who have savings or resources below a certain threshold. The key provision raises the limit for individuals to $10,000 and for married couples to $15,000. Under current rules, people with assets exceeding these amounts may not qualify for coverage. This change would allow more low-income individuals and families to access health benefits if their assets fall within the new limits.
