Mom lived and passed away in Veteran nursing home in PA. When I placed her there, I was asked if she had a life insurance policy. I said no. I knew of a policy that was dropped by her former employer when the company she worked for was sold. Medicaid insisted that she had a policy. I could not prove that the policy was no longer current. For this reason, she did not qualify for Medicaid.
Thank you.

The nursing home can still sue under Pennsylvania law. Not Medicaid, no because they refused to pay. So under filial responsibility law, a nursing home collected $93,000 from a son who did not submit all assets on the Medicaid application. See HCR v Pittas.

Yikes! I'm getting different opinions! Since she was not receiving Medicaid, I do not have too.
