Frequently asked questions about Medicaid Planning

Can I still qualify for Medicaid if I own a home?

Yes, homeownership doesn’t automatically disqualify you. With the right Medicaid planning, you may still be eligible.

What if my income is above Medicaid’s monthly limits?

You may qualify through a Pooled Income Trust (PIT). We’ll help you set this up so your excess income doesn’t impact your eligibility.

How long does the Medicaid application process take?

It depends on your specific case, but in general, the Human Resources Administration (HRA) must make a determination within 45 days of receiving your application.

Does Medicaid cover home care services?

Yes. If you qualify for a Managed Long-Term Care Plan (MLTCP), you may receive home care services based on your level of need.
