New Federal Poverty Level guidelines are out

Submitted by Laura at CP on February 28, 2008 - 9:00am.

As of March 1, new income guidelines will go into effect for MassHealth, Commonwealth Care, the Health Safety Net and other subsidized health care programs. The new income levels determine not only eligibility for these programs, but also premium amounts for MassHealth and Commonwealth Care. The changes reflect new Federal Poverty Level (FPL) guidelines updated in January.

Both Health Care For All and the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute have provided charts applying the new standards to a range of Massachusetts programs.

Sorry to point out the one omission

But I don't think this list includes the "Buy In" for Medicare beneficiaries which is 135% of FPL (close to 133% but enough higher that the difference is meaningful!)
