I had to trade my car which I loved in for a van to make it more accessible for my mother. Can she cover part without Medicaid problem?
Dealing with financials, can I have mom cover part of the cost of the new vehicle since she is the reason we had to get it? I loved the vehicle I had but she had trouble getting in and out of it. So that’s why we had to get a van.
money spent on her care and on her needs isn’t considered a gift. If she’s on Medicaid for health insurance then....it’s income based and there is no lookback so she do what she wants with her money, so helping you buy a van will not impact her current eligibility. Just document this in writing in case she needs long term care within the next 5 years.
Worried, I look at this like moving a parent in with you and doing work in the bath to make it accessible or u add on a room. Medicaid doesn't allow parent to use their money for the remodel. Basically, because if u sell the house u profit off the remodel. Not that u can profit off the sale of a car. But Mom doesn't drive the Van and she isn't a co-owner. Maybe a question for Medicaid?
