Modifies provisions relating to blind pensions
HB 2803 modifies Missouri's blind pension eligibility rules. It sets asset limits (excluding primary home and first $100,000 in ABLE accounts), requires surrendering driver's licenses (with a free non-driver card option), and adds income thresholds for sighted spouses. The bill also mandates vision tests for applicants and requires recipients to report changes affecting eligibility within 10 days. These provisions directly affect Missouri residents aged 18+ who are blind and applying for or receiving a blind pension under state law. The bill is pending in the House after its first reading in January 2026.
