How do I qualify for Medicaid?

[@paulawhitehead7321]

I will be meticulous when it comes to Medicaid qualifications. They do not tell you that this program can take your home as a pay-back. Both the federal and the county will collect their money somehow somewhere

[@thijscoman]

Agreed. In some instances it may be smarter to purchase a long term care policy.

[@parentingagingparents]

It is all so confusing and every person's situation is definitely different. Finding a person who can advise you and your situation can help you decide what's the best plan of action for you.

[@poneklr]

They can't touch your home if it has a homestead exemption attached to it. Also if you quit claim deed the home to someone or leave it to them in a will the home cannot be touched.

You're welcome. It's made even more confusing since every state is a little different!

If I quit my job do I still qualify for Medicaid if I was previously getting healthcare through my employer? 19 and 16 weeks pregnant. Don’t know if that would make a difference located in IL

[@parentingagingparents]

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that can you apply for if you meet certain income requirements. You apply through your state. Here's a website for IL: hfs.illinois.gov/medicalclients/medicaidguide/applying.html

Please mention the use of ABLE account and transferring an IRA over to it

[@parentingagingparents]

There are so many nuances with Medicaid and people's individual situation. I'd definitely advise talking to an attorney and/or accountant who's well versed in Medicaid.

[@Sonflower719]

If you already have Medicaid, and get an Inheritance, you have to pay back any assistance or use lose tge following months until are back to where you were?

[@parentingagingparents]

That's an interesting question. Here's info from a free service provided by the American Council on Aging. www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/inheritance/ Hope this helps.

How much would lawyers like them typically charge?

[@parentingagingparents]

Sorry for slow reply. It's going to totally depend on how much needs to be done. Some law firms will give you a free consultation so you'll know what you're facing.

[@artgutierrez7110]

can you explain the difference in between having a life insurance policy could affect being qualify?

[@parentingagingparents]

I'd check with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services www.usa.gov/agencies/centers-for-medicare-and-medicaid-services. There's also a link there to find your state Medicaid office since benefits vary by state.

[@dylanmckee4642]

Can you qualify for Medicaid if you've never had a job, and still don't work?

[@parentingagingparents]

Medicaid differs by state so would look up the state where you live. Here's a link to the Medicare/Medicaid website that should point you in the right direction. www.healthcare.gov/blog/who-qualifies-for-medicaid/

What is form H0003

[@parentingagingparents]

We didn't discuss that in the interview but according to the Texas Health & Human Services website it's an agreement to release your facts so that staff can check eligibility. Here's a link to the website. www.hhs.texas.gov/regulations/forms/0-999/form-h0003-agreement-release-your-facts

I made up a rhyme to differentiate the 2. MEDICAID-don’t get paid. MEDICARE-got gray hair.
