Elder Law Today Podcast Show #15 - You’ve Spent Down all Your Money and Still Can’t Get Medicaid – How Could This Happen‪?‬ Elder Law Today Podcast

You’ve spent
down the remaining assets on Mom’s care and have no more money
left. You apply for Medicaid but are told, “Sorry, Mom’s
not eligible for another 8 months.” How could this happen?
What can you do to avoid this horrific outcome?






In Show 15 of his
monthly Elder Law Today Podcast, practicing elder law attorney, Yale
Hauptman, explains why spending down assets may not be as simple as
you think. Medicaid rules are complex and it is easy to get tripped
up. Well meaning citizens can unwittingly cause themselves to lose
these essential benefits by creating transfers that are subject to a
Medicaid transfer penalty.






Learn the danger of
paying home health aides cash and why that could result in long
penalty periods. Discover why gifts made 4+ years before Medicaid is
applied for can come back to haunt you. More importantly, learn how
you can avoid these Medicaid traps and how to correct the mistakes
you’ve already made. If you wait till you apply it’s too
late.






This episode is for
anyone who cannot afford the cost of long term care indefinitely and
may need to apply for government benefits at some time in the future.
Important information that you’ll want to listen to carefully.
