MYTH: You have to give away everything you own to qualify for the Medicaid benefit.
Truth: Basically, a married or single person is permitted to own some property. Married couples are treated differently in Michigan. There are "countable" assets you are entitled to preserve.
2.
MYTH: You must wait 5 years after giving anything away, to qualify to receive Medicaid benefit.
Truth: The penalty isn’t always 5 years, and sometimes there is no penalty at all. True, as of 2006 there is 5 year “look back” for some asset transfers.
3.
MYTH: Gifts can be made within the IRS guidelines and will not affect the five year look back should Mom or Dad need nursing home care.
Truth:
Medicaid and the IRS are completely different when it comes to "gifting". The IRS does allow gifts to be made each year, however. MEDICAID DOES NOT.
