An Act relative to adjusting the senior circuit breaker

This bill modifies the senior circuit breaker program in Massachusetts to help older homeowners pay less in property taxes. It directly affects seniors who must pay for their own Medicare Part A insurance because they do not qualify for it for free. The law requires that these Medicare payments be added to the amount of property taxes a senior can exclude from their income when calculating their tax bill. Additionally, the bill raises the maximum property value that qualifies for this tax relief, allowing it to be either $600,000 or the average home value in the town, whichever is higher.
