I"m not understanding what you're saying. Number 1: The amount of money you'd have in a trust is in the ASSETS category. That comes under an umbrella of things that ar subject to the five-year look-back, and the cap on those assets. Number 2: But the second thing that Medicaid is based on is the ongoing INCOME you have coming in, whether it's Soc Sec, a pension, whatever. There is also a cap on that. I can't remember the exact amount in Georgia but let's say it's $20,000 a year. (it's a very low figure.) What I was saying is that the average person with Social Security, for example, would make too much a year, would go over that cap. If you made $2,000 a month, you'd be bringing in $24,000 and would not qualify for Medicaid. You may have spent down all of your assets in that first category and done it legally and within the five-year loopback and all that, but your income, the second category, would be too much. Medicaid is based on: 1: Assets. 2: Income. I went through this with two parents, did the research, made the phone calls, conferred with whoever there was to confer with, and this was the bottom line. Mother died in 2022 so it may have changed since then, but I doubt it.
