Penalty Calculation: Medicaid employs monthly “regional rates” to calculate penalties, with these rates varying by county and subject to annual changes. By dividing the total transferred amount by the monthly regional rate, the penalty period in months is determined. During the penalty period, Medicaid does not cover care costs. Instead, the applicant needs to privately cover nursing home expenses during this duration.Illustration:For instance, in 2015, the monthly regional rate in NYC was $11,843. If an NYC applicant gifted $125,000 within the five-year look-back period, Medicaid would calculate a penalty of 10.6 months by dividing $125,000 by $11,843.Get FREE CONSULTATION from our experts!

Did you know that less than 3% of long-term care facilities in Texas meet the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed rule on minimum staffing standards? While this proposed staffing minimum is a step in the right direction to protect our most vulnerable citizens from neglect and abuse in long-term care, Texas has a long way to go to even come close to this proposed rule that will better protect loved ones in these facilities. The critical need for proper care underscores the urgency of closely monitoring your loved one's nursing home for signs of neglect and abuse. Learn more about this gap in care and the proposed rule to improve it, and reach out to us with questions or concerns you have about inadequate care of your loved ones in Texas facilities: https://bit.ly/3OmmbPP #PowersTaylor #PTFamily #NursingHomeAbuse #CompassionateJustice #TexasLawyers

Many clients tell us that they want to give away their home and other assets to their children. Why? To protect them from Nursing Home Medicaid and the state putting a lien on their home after they die as a part of Estate Recovery. Well … everyone isn’t going to be eligible for Medicaid and they first need to run their numbers to determine how long their money will last if care is needed before giving up control of their hard-earned assets. What if their assets will last 17 years? 25 years? The bottom line is that you need to look at the whole picture before making these big decisions! #elderlaw #estateplanning #massnaela #naela #pittsfieldma #intheberkshires #westernmass #berkshires #seniorcare #lifecareplanning #veteranbenefits #estateadministration

The Biden Administration's staffing mandate for nursing homes is both unfunded and unrealistic. This unfunded mandate would require billions of dollars each year (that facilities don’t have) to hire tens of thousands of additional caregivers (that don’t exist). It adds an even bigger burden in Oklahoma, where there is $44 per day gap in Medicaid reimbursement and actual cost of care for our facilities. #LongTermCare #UnrealisticMandate

Yesterday wass #NationalCaregiversDay, In honor of this day, we're highlighting Caregiver Agreements, sometimes called "Personal Care Contracts." These are beneficial for certain individuals as part of an overall long-term care plan. With the proper contract in place, elderly care can be provided by a family member or friend, all while helping the individual in need qualify for Medicaid. You can read more about Caregiver Agreements at jlwlawgroup.com/elder-law/
