Limited funding and need help now, can you help?

My mom is 96 and has dementia. She has only $1100 from SS. We are moving to Fl in 2 weeks. Does Fl look back for 5 years on bans accounts, or there Medicaid waivers, if so what are they? I need to get her to to home before my heart attack happens again. Please help!

There's something known as "presumptive eligibility" for Medicaid, too. I don't know the details, sorry.

It is called reciprocity, I knew I would remember the word as soon as I ordered girl scout goodies! LOL!

Where are you now? Some states have agreements to accept transfer of another state program so qualification is immediate.

The problem u may have is living there long enough to get residency.

You call the local Area Agency on Aging for help.

All States have a Medicaid lookback of 5 years, from what I've read. Has your mom gifted monies to others during that time frame?
