What Are Medicaid Asset Transfer Rules For Seniors? - Golden Years Health Plan
What Are Medicaid Asset Transfer Rules For Seniors? Are you curious about how Medicaid determines if you qualify for long-term care benefits? In this video, we explain the key rules surrounding asset transfers and how they can impact your eligibility. We’ll cover what types of transfers might lead to penalties, including gifting, selling assets below market value, or transferring property. You’ll learn about the look-back period—how Medicaid reviews your financial transactions over the past five years—and how these transfers can result in a penalty period that delays your coverage. We also discuss exemptions to these rules, such as transfers to a spouse, certain family members, or caregivers, which might help you protect your assets. Additionally, we’ll clarify how transferring a home can affect your eligibility and what happens if Medicaid places a lien on your property after your passing. Since these rules can vary by state and are often complex, consulting with an elder law attorney can be a wise step. Proper planning can help you avoid penalties and ensure you receive the care you need without unnecessary financial loss.
