Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill exempts income received by a person with a disability from certain work programs available to individuals with disabilities from being considered in determining the person's eligibility for MaineCare. This would increase the number of individuals receiving MaineCare. As the Department of Health and Human Services cannot identify those individuals who receive income through these work programs, no fiscal estimate is made at this time.
