My 95-year-old father has been paying my 62-year-old brother's medical bills. Can he repay my dad in order to qualify for Medicaid?

My brother now has stage 3 lung cancer and is eligible for disability. He would like to be able to stop working as he is so sick, but he cannot afford health insurance. He is currently working three days a week and four hours a day.


He has a small IRA with about $10,000 which disqualified him for Medicaid. This was the only thing disqualifying him.


Can he give money back to my dad to qualify?

You need to talk to Medicaid or a Medicaid lawyer.
