An Act amending the act of August 26, 1971 (P.L.351, No.91), known as the State Lottery Law, in pharmaceutical assistance for the elderly, further providing for the Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract for the Elderly Needs Enhancement Tier.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's State Lottery Law to expand eligibility for the Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract for the Elderly Needs Enhancement Tier. It directly affects elderly residents whose income currently falls between $14,500 and $33,500 for single individuals or $17,700 and $41,500 for married couples, raising the upper income limits to $43,500 and $51,500 respectively. The legislation also clarifies that income figures reported for eligibility purposes can be rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The changes are set to take effect 60 days after the bill becomes law.
