Bill overview
This bill aimed to protect the rental rates for assisted living facilities that participate in California’s Medi-Cal program, which provides care for low-income seniors. It would have allowed the state to waive restrictions on rent controls when evaluating the effectiveness of assisted living benefits for Medi-Cal recipients. Specifically, the bill sought to ensure that residents’ room and board costs wouldn’t exceed the difference between their income and a set allowance for those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or State Supplementary Payment (SSP). Furthermore, it proposed excluding a portion of that difference from countable income when determining Medi-Cal eligibility, ultimately aiming to make assisted living more affordable for vulnerable seniors.
