How does Michigan Medicaid spend down apply to those already receiving Medica home care? Do they spend down an inheritance before reporting?

You should have a Medicaid caseworker. I would report this inheritance.

Are you on straight Medicaid or in-home waivers? It is different requirements. If its a waiver, is your waiver administrator the Area on Aging or the third party administrator?

As this is pretty important (you wouldn't want to put into jeopardy any benefits by following possible inaccurate advice) I would check this out with your own case workers, with medicaid itself (same number as 1-800-medicare to guide you) or with an elder law attorney. You can't be wrong on this one, so don't take advice off a Forum, good as some of our folks are at this stuff.
