Higher allowances for North Dakota Medicaid recipients

Eligible North Dakota medical assistance recipients get a $15 increase in their monthly personal needs allowance. This increase covers July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. The Department of Health and Human Services must also review and adjust the allowance each year based on inflation. That yearly requirement continues beyond June 2027. The law funds the two-year increase with $762,894 from the state general fund and $689,466 from federal and special funds.
