Questions families ask

What is New York's nursing home Personal Needs Allowance, and why is it so low?

New York's nursing home resident Personal Needs Allowance (PNA) is $50 per month -- unchanged since the 1980s, and among the lowest in the country; 33 states pay more, in a $52-$200 range. A 2024 state senate bill proposed raising it to $128, but it has not been enacted, and the PNA remains $50/month.

What are New York's 2026 spousal impoverishment protections?

For 2026, New York's Community Spouse Resource Allowance runs from a state minimum of $74,820 up to a federal maximum of $162,660 (the community spouse keeps the greater of the state minimum or half of countable resources, up to the federal max), with a Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance of $4,066.50/month, per NYSDOH GIS 26 MA/03.

What is the NYC-region MLTC special income standard, and does it apply to Staten Island?

Yes -- the NYC-region MLTC special income standard for housing expenses is $1,790/month, effective January 1, 2026, per NYSDOH GIS 26 MA/03. This applies to Staten Island because Richmond County is part of the New York City region for MLTC purposes, distinct from Long Island's separate $1,701 figure.
