Bill overview
The Personal Needs Allowance Modernization Act (PNA Modernization Act) aims to increase the amount of money that Medicaid recipients living in institutionalized care can keep each month for personal expenses. Specifically, it raises the minimum personal needs allowance for single individuals from $30 to $60 and for couples from $60 to $120. This allowance is deducted from a person's income when determining their contribution to the cost of their care. The bill also adjusts these amounts based on increases to Social Security benefits.
