The bill amends Section 40-8.9-9 of the General Laws to establish a long-term-care rebalancing system reform goal. It mandates that the executive office of health and human services (EOHHS) implement resource eligibility limits of $12,000 for single persons and $18,000 for couples for individuals with long-term-care needs who reside at home. The bill requires that Medicaid-certified assisted living facilities and adult day service providers report semi-annually to the EOHHS regarding the number of persons served each month and the patients' certification categories for the prior six months. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
