Medicaid community recertification; Does this mean she loses Medicaid and gets terminated?

Moms Medicaid renewal package just arrived (for community not institutional) and it seems her bank account is over limit by $1000 (allowed $15450 for single). Does this mean she loses Medicaid and gets terminated? I know with income you can spend down but don’t think you can with assets? There is only a 1-3 month lookback for Medicaid community so if they terminate her, would we have to reapply from scratch when her assets are below max of $15,450... hate to go thru this whole process again with firms and waiting etc?

Call your local Medicaid office and ask them. Medicaid regulations vary from state to state.
