Michigan passed an estate recovery act that became effective September 30, 2007. The
Michigan Department of Community Health is attempting to recover for long-term care benefits
that Medicaid paid on behalf of a Medicaid beneficiary, who is 55 or older, from their “estate.”
Caring for our loved ones as they age is difficult for many families and the best decision can be made after exploring all available options.
Many families wish to obtain and provide the needed care for their families in their own homes. Without long term care insurance to assist with the cost of 24-hour care, this may not be an option for a loved one.
The first step in Medicaid planning for couples is determining the “baseline
date.”
Sometimes there is a child or beneficiary with a disability who is unable to receive an outright distribution, either due to their inability to manage the inheritance or due to the government benefits they are receiving.
