Medicaid Strategies for Spouses
Title 19 Medicaid planning for married couples in Connecticut can be very confusing. That is not to say that this case was “easy,” but if my client in that case was married the process would have been more complicated. When a spouse is involved, in addition to completing asset valuation and evaluation of penalty periods you have to work through the spousal impoverishment provisions to protect everything you are entitled to protect.
You must be prepared committed to protect your rights, or nobody will. The nursing home wants to get paid and the State of Connecticut is not excited about having another person eligible for benefits.
In recognition of the unique issues involved in Title 19 Medicaid applications for married couples in Connecticut, I have added a new publication called “Medicaid Strategies for Married Couples.” Included in the booklet is an outline of my ten step program for spouses. You can order your free copy here. After you have reviewed it, come back and review this example of how the topics discussed in the booklet translated into real asset protection for a married couple.
