Stavros advocates will be joining many other independent living advocates from across the state on Thursday March 23rd at the State Building’s Grand Hall beginning 11:30 AM to ask legislators to make some needed changes. One of the changes will be “An Act Protecting the Homes of Seniors and Disabled People on MassHealth”. This Act will protect the homes of people on MassHealth including people on CommonHealth who are 55 years and older from losing their homes when they die. It’s called the MassHealth Estate Recovery Program.
The Wheelchair Warranty Bill, is one of DPC’s and Stavros’s priorities from last session. This bill, has been refiled by Rep. Jim O’Day and Sen. John Cronin (docket numbers HD.1845 and SD.212).
