In order to qualify for Medicaid, you can’t have more than $2,000 in assets (in most states). Many people forget about life insurance when calculating their assets, but depending on the type of life insurance and the value of the policy, it can count as an asset. Life insurance policies are usually either “term” life insurance or “whole” life insurance. If a Medicaid applicant has term life insurance, it doesn’t count as an asset and won’t affect Medicaid eligibility because this form of life insurance does not have an accumulated cash value.

Provided by ElderLawAnswers Whether you should prepare and file a Medicaid application by yourself or should hire help depends on answers to the following questions:

• How old is the applicant?
• How complicated is the applicant’s financial situation?
• Is the individual applying for community or nursing home benefits?
• How much time do you have available?
• How organized are you?

Article provided by ElderLawAnswers One of the greatest fears of older Americans is that they may end up in a nursing home. This not only means a great loss of personal autonomy, but also a tremendous financial price. Depending on location and level of care, nursing homes cost between $40,000 and $180,000 a year. Most people end up paying for nursing home care out of their savings until they run out. Then they can qualify for Medicaid to pick up the cost.
