Title XIX Application (Medicaid)

Medicaid, also known as Title 19 or Title XIX, is a crucial federal and state-funded program offering health coverage to eligible individuals. In Connecticut, the Department of Social Services (DSS) manages this vital service. With eligibility rules that frequently change, navigating the application process can be challenging. That’s why enlisting the help of a Specialist can streamline your Medicaid application, ensuring a smoother and more efficient experience.

An Introduction to TITLE XIX (MEDICAID)

What is Title XIX (Medicaid)?

Title XIX, commonly known as Medicaid, is a joint federal and state program that offers healthcare coverage to individuals and families with limited income and resources, including seniors, people with disabilities, and those who are blind. Notably, Medicaid covers more than 40% of long-term care expenses across the United States, making it a crucial resource for those requiring extended medical support.

What Does Medicaid Include?

Medicaid fully covers the costs of long-term care, encompassing accommodation, meals, prescription medications, and other essentials, with only a minimal co-pay required in certain situations.

Requirements for Medicaid

To qualify for Medicaid, applicants must adhere to specific eligibility criteria that differ from state to state. Fortunately, partnering with an elder law attorney ensures you have expert guidance on navigating the complex Medicaid regulations.

Non-Financial Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for long-term care Medicaid, you must satisfy certain non-financial criteria, including:

Financial Eligibility Criteria

Income:

In many states, a Medicaid recipient’s income must be lower than the cost of their nursing home care. Given that monthly expenses often exceed $8,000, most seniors easily satisfy this requirement. For married couples, there is no income limit imposed on the healthy spouse.

Assets:

Typically, Medicaid recipients are allowed to retain up to $2,000 in countable assets. However, for married couples, the healthy spouse can retain a significantly larger amount. This amount varies by state, with allowances in some cases exceeding $100,000.

Gifts:

It might seem appealing to transfer assets to qualify for Medicaid, but the program has strict rules against this. If an applicant or their spouse has made any gifts within the past five years, Medicaid may impose a penalty period, delaying eligibility.
