When can my mom become Medicaid eligible in IL if she still has money?

Moving from Florida to Illinois will complicate elibility. Speak.with an elder law attorney. She will have to spend down her assets before she becomes eligible for long term care under Medicaid.

Medicaid is for those who no longer have any savings to pay for their care. Please go to the medicare/medicaid site on the computer and check with your state on "qualifications for medicaid in Illinois". The search engine will hook you up on the site for good general qualifications and information. Good luck.

It depends on what type of Medicaid she needs. If she needs Medicaid health insurance then her monthly income is what determines her eligibility. If she needs long term care (nursing home) then she can have a house, a car and $2k in the bank.
