Medicaid eligibility can involve income, assets, household circumstances and program-specific rules. It is not a do-it-yourself decision when long-term care is involved.
Questions are fact-specific
Eligibility may involve asset and income considerations, spend-down concepts, spousal protections, look-back rules and potential estate-recovery issues. Rules and facts can change.
Avoid rushed transfers
A transfer made without informed advice can affect options. Before giving away property or changing title, speak with a qualified Delaware attorney about your circumstances.
A careful next step
General education is a beginning, not personal advice.
Delaware law and individual circumstances can change the answer. A qualified Delaware attorney can explain how the facts apply to you.
Common questions
Does Medicare pay indefinitely for nursing-home care?
Do not assume it does. Medicare and Medicaid have different coverage and eligibility rules. Use official program information and qualified advice.
Can I qualify by giving everything away?
That assumption can be costly. Transfers may have consequences, including under program rules. Seek qualified advice first.
