General assistance standard of assistance modification

This bill (SF 1161) modifies how Minnesota calculates general assistance payments for recipients living in licensed residential facilities (excluding homeless shelters). It establishes two specific payment standards: 70% of the general assistance standard for those in facilities covered under housing assistance rules, or the personal needs allowance used for medical assistance recipients in other licensed facilities. The change directly affects individuals receiving general assistance who reside in such facilities. The amendment modifies Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 256D.01, subdivision 1b.
