Increases the amount certain individuals are eligible for when receiving enhanced residential care

This bill increases the monthly payment amount for individuals receiving enhanced residential care in New York State. Starting on January 1, 2024, the eligible individual rate rises from $1,608 to $1,768, while eligible couples receive double that new amount. The change directly affects residents in facilities that provide this specific type of care by ensuring they get a higher stipend for their services. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage.
