The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 256D.01, subdivision 1b, to modify the general assistance standard of assistance for recipients residing in licensed residential facilities. It establishes that the commissioner will adopt rules to set standards of assistance and methods for calculating payments. Notably, it specifies that recipients living in licensed residential facilities, excluding shelters for the homeless, will not be eligible for the full general assistance standard.

The new standard of assistance for these recipients will be set at 70 percent of the general assistance standard for those receiving housing assistance under chapter 256I and residing in specific licensed residential facilities. Additionally, it introduces a provision for recipients residing in other licensed residential facilities to receive assistance according to section 256B.35. This change aims to clarify and adjust the financial support provided to individuals in various residential settings.
