Don't Forget Medicaid
Eventually you may find yourself needing to apply for Medicaid benefits because the cost of long term care is still beyond your means even with the VA benefits. When applying for Medicaid in PA, NJ and DE another important factor that one must consider when thinking about trying to meet the VA asset limitation test is that giving away cash or other things of value can create terrible problems for senior citizens when they later need to apply for Medicaid to assist them with skilled nursing, assisted living or at- home care. Giving away assets can create a long penalty period of ineligibility for Medicaid benefits. Any senior facing long-term care needs to seek capable advice from someone who is skilled in the areas of financial planning, Medicaid, Medicare, income tax, and gift tax, as well as having experience regarding VA rules.
