Medicaid Eligibility Rules
Some states may vary on these Medicaid eligibility rules Single person Spousal Impoverishment Rules for married couples Assets - $50,000 – 109,540.00 Life Policy - $ 1,500.00 Car – Unlimited Value Home - $ 500,000 Equity Personal Possessions Funeral Trust for both spouses Income - $ Monthly Assets - $ Life Policy - $ Car - $ Personal possessions Wedding rings Funeral trust Income - $ 45.00
14
SINCE ONLY $1500.00 IS EXEMPT FOR LIFE INSURANCE…THIS IS AN ISSUE
Medicaid says only a $ life insurance policy is exempt. Any policy over that amount in cash values is a countable asset and would have to be spent down for Medicaid Eligibility. Example: $10, Policy – (Paid Up) 9, Cash Value SOLUTION: Exchange to Funeral Trust. (Tax Free) – Now it is Protected. Some states may vary on Medicaid Rules, please consult an Elder Law Attorney in your state.

Mildred’s Story and what happened
In 2001, Mildred sold her home for approximately $100, and moved into a senior apartment at the age of 71. She was in good health. Her income was more than enough for her to pay her bills. She had $2,350 monthly income and the bills amounted to only $1,465 monthly. She did not have long term care and she was concerned about the nursing home wiping out her grandchildren and children inheritances. She wanted to leave $50,000 to her children, and she was concerned that a nursing home could wipe out this money before she died. Her advisor said she should set up an “Estate Trust” with the $50,000 and after 60 months passed, this money would be protected from the nursing home and Medicaid. In addition, her advisor said she should do a Medicaid exempt funeral trust at $ 12,500. For some reason Mildred never completed the trusts with her advisor. In January of 2007, Mildred entered a nursing home after a stroke. (*cost of nursing home was $6950 monthly) In August of 2009, Mildred applies for Medicaid with only $ left in the bank. If Mildred would have followed the advice from her financial planner. Today, she would be on Medicaid with a $50,000 Estate Planning Trust to her family. Now her family has to come up with funeral expenses too! Good Planning Can Protect Assets !
28
The Estate Trust Can Protect Assets
If Mildred would have planned, she could be in the nursing home and still pass $50,000 to her family. $50,000 Estate Trust Don’t let your clients become like Mildred. Help them plan now while they are healthy to protect assets.
