Elder Law, Medicaid Planning Tagged With: five year look-back period, Medicaid, medicaid in st. louis

Can I Just Give Away My Assets and Qualify for Medicaid?

January 27, 2014

Medicaid Planning Tagged With: asset transfer, look-back period, Medicaid

The Affordable Care Act has changed many Medicaid eligibility rules since it took effect at the start of 2014; however, the changes do not affect everyone involved with the program. In the past, anyone applying would be subject to an asset test to see how much the applicant had in cash or other countable assets. Now, those asset tests are no longer needed for many people. For those under the age of 65 and who are not disabled or blind, income is the qualifying factor. This is why so many people … [Read more...] about Can I Just Give Away My Assets and Qualify for Medicaid?
