Attachment(s):
The proposed rule changes would increase the Federal Poverty Levels (FPLs) in the MaineCare Eligibility Manual, Part 8, Medicare Savings Program (Buy-In) and are based on a legislative change to 22 M.R.S. § 3174-LLL made by P.L. 2023, ch. 412. Part 8, Section 4.1(I)(B) would increase the FPL to 185% from 150% FPL. Part 8, Section 4.2 would add “The rules in this Section apply through June 30, 2024.”
In addition, Section 4.3(I)(B) would increase the Federal Poverty Level to 250% from 185%. The proposed rule changes would increase access to health insurance. The proposed rule changes would be effective July 1, 2024. Retroactive rulemaking is permissible under 22 M.R.S. § 42(8) as these updates provide a benefit to recipients and applicants.
