An Act relative to Massachusetts home care eligibility

This bill (HD 775) removes age restrictions for people with HIV or AIDS seeking Massachusetts home care services. It requires the Executive Office of Elder Affairs to update state regulations (651 CMR 3.00) so that individuals diagnosed with HIV or AIDS can access home care services regardless of age, provided they meet other eligibility criteria. The Secretary of Health and Human Services must ensure relevant agencies implement this change through necessary regulations. The policy directly affects low-income individuals with HIV or AIDS who were previously ineligible for home care due to age limits.
