If mom can prove that the money was spent for her care will she lose community home care?

My mom is receiving communtiy Medicaid in New York and recently her attorney indicated that she was taking too much money from her IRA and that her income level would exclude her from receiving home care. If mom can prove that the money was spent for her care will she lose community home care?

EXPERT Carol Bradley Bursack, CDSGF Feb 2012
I think her attorney is the one to listen to, here. Let him know you have proof of how the money was spent. Much will depend on New York's requirements, and he should know that. If he doesn't, then you should check with a Medicaid expert in New York.
Good luck!
