Does the family need to return the money to the her account before Medicaid is filed?

My mother gave her children a love gift about two years ago. She must go on Medicaid. Before she goes on medicaid does the family need to return the money to her account

You should talk to an elder care attorney familiar with Medicaid procedures about how to go about this.
