Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
No. Your home, if you are the homeowner and on the deed to your own home, cannot be confiscated. It is yours. Only your Mother's assets can be recovered after her death if she has qualified to be on Medicaid.
I'm sort of dealing with this. My mom hasn't had medicaid since 2007. Was basically only used for prescriptions. (Some I question) to the tune of 25,000. She was never someone who took medications unless ill. But if it was hers and left to you if you have lived in the home taken care of her for atleast 2yrs before her going to a nursing home or prevented her from going to a nursing home then they won't evict you. They would put a lien on the home if it's ever sold the state would get they’re cut first and foremost. Period. Even before inhome health costs any other bills or heirs the stare reins Supreme. There are undo hardship waiver and stuff you might qualify for. Look into Merp for your state (medicaid estate recovery) to see any exemptions and rules that might apply to you. The state typically has 1 year from date of death to file. Twice as long as any other heirs. It's my understanding that they don't evict you though but a lien is put on it.
Have you always been the owner, meaning you bought the house, only one on the deed (maybe a spouse). Or did Mom at some time turn the ownership over to you? Before the 5 yr look back period.
If this house has always been yours, no Medicaid will not touch it. Children are not held finacially responsible. Mom needs to own a house at time of death. Either 100% owns or is on a deed with some one one else. Lets say she is on another deed 50/50. Then Medicaid will put a lien on her 50%. You can remain in the home but if you sell, Medicaid is entilted to 50% of the proceeds. If you pass, the house will need to be sold to satisfy the lien.
House is in whose name? Like what does the annual tax collector bill / statement read as to who owns it? It’s this record that the State will use as their first step to affix ownership.
If it’s in moms name, my understanding on what happens depends on your States laws regarding property rights. If yours is a state that really does tefra, it can place a proactive lein. Some States that are especially private property rights oriented do not allow this as the “lien” does not have a precise figure so cannot be done and they use an after death placed lien or claim.
Now if house is in mom’s name, I’d suggest that you start to Google “caregiver exemption” to Medicaid Estate Recovery Program, and start to get whatever needed for it lined up.
