Lawmakers urged to raise Iowa's personal needs allowance
The Iowa Long-Term Care Ombudsman again urges lawmakers to raise the monthly personal needs allowance for Medicaid nursing home residents from $50, arguing it lags inflation. The Senate has advanced Senate File 476, while House File 225 stalls in committee amid past failed attempts to fund a higher cap. The initiative cites resident needs for items like haircare, snacks, clothing, and gifts, noting most states offer higher amounts.
