FAQs

Can I transfer assets to my family members to qualify for Medicaid?

Yes, transferring assets (gifting) can be done to shorten the time to obtain Medicaid qualification. Any gifting that occurs, however, will incur a penalty period during which benefits are not paid. The length of the penalty period is based on the value of the gift. While this can be done, there are often better options.

How can a Medicaid asset protection trust benefit me?

A Medicaid asset protection trust allows you to transfer assets into a trust while retaining some control and access to income. It can help protect assets from Medicaid eligibility requirements. Some believe this needs to be done at least five years before Medicaid application, but that is not always the case as there are exceptions. Also, you may only need to privately pay until the five years is attained. Whether privately paying makes sense depends on the amount of assets available, the monthly cost of care, and how close the applicant is to the five years.

What are the consequences of gifting assets before applying for Medicaid?

Gifting assets before applying for Medicaid can result in penalty periods during which Medicaid benefits are not provided, potentially delaying coverage for long-term care services. There are exceptions set forth in the law to which a penalty period is not applied though .

What happens if I receive an inheritance while on Medicaid?

Inheritances received while on Medicaid may affect eligibility and may need to be spent down or managed carefully to maintain benefits. Depending on the specific situation, special needs trusts may be a way as not to require a spend down. Also, whether the Medicaid recipient is married will be one of other considerations.

How can I navigate Medicaid rules and regulations to ensure I receive the maximum benefits?

Consulting with an experienced elder law attorney who focuses a large part on Medicaid planning can help you navigate complex rules and ensure you receive the maximum benefits available. Misinformation abounds, even by very well-intentioned social workers, but in reality, many federal and state laws, regulations, and cases have given experienced attorneys guidelines to help the most.
