An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in public assistance, providing for payments for extraordinary personal care services.

This bill proposes allowing Pennsylvania to pay for special personal care services provided by a family member to a recipient of Medical Assistance. To make this possible, the state would need to request permission from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to cover these costs. The law specifies that the state cannot begin paying for these services until it receives approval from the federal government. The changes would take effect 180 days after the bill is signed into law.
