Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
"Sometimes referred to as Qualifying Income Trusts, Qualified Income Trusts, or Miller Trusts (based upon a court case with the same name), they are used when a Medicaid applicant has too much income to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to pay for nursing home care or other long-term care costs." When the time comes you can set up a Millers Trust so that she can apply for medicaid. MIL's nursing home social worker is helping us with this process.
My WWII dad receives A&A of $900 per month and the average nursing home in our area is $9000 per month. Check with VA about what happens if she goes on Medicaid.
Thank you cdnreader & joAnn29 for the information you provided. Let me expand and rephrase my question. My Mom (Dementia/Alzheimer's) will qualify for VA A&A. She lives with me. My wife and I provide care for her. We do have a Care Contract in place. I plan to apply for VA A&A for her. My question is: if she is approved and begins receiving VA A&A and then say a year or so later, she deteriorates beyond our ability to no longer provide care for her and she needs to go to a Nursing Home. Upon her entering a NH does she need to apply for Medicaid to pay for NH or will VA A&A benefits pay for the NH? I know if she were to get help from Medicaid that she would no longer receive VA A&A but how does she transfer from receiving VA A&A into Medicaid benefits when entering into NH?
If getting Medicaid you can't have A&A too. Both government programs. A&A does take a long time and can only be gotten if the person was in the service during wartime.
A Medicaid applicant can usually begin receiving benefits within 2-3 months, while it is not unusual for a veterans pension beneficiary to wait 6-12 months or longer for their application to be approved. ... One spouse can receive Medicaid, and the other can receive the Aid and Attendance benefit.Jul 1, 2017
