Maddy summaryH 3948 increases the Personal Needs Allowance (PNA) for Medicaid-eligible nursing home residents in South Carolina, which covers personal expenses like clothing, toiletries, and small purchases. Starting January 1, 2025, the allowance will adjust annually based on the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (capped at federal limits) and must be at least $100 per month. The bill also clarifies that accrued PNA amounts for residents as of June 1, 2024, will not count as assets during their stay, and prohibits using the allowance for Medicaid-covered items like incontinence supplies or food. This directly affects nursing home residents qualifying for Medicaid and ensures the allowance remains accessible for non-medical personal needs.
