[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need a lawyer if there are assets to protect. There is a five year look back so I'd transfer assets now (this is also a good idea anyway since you don't want your mom in charge of assets when she has dementia anyway).[/quote]

You are absolutely gaming the system.[/quote]

if Congress did not want people to do this, they could lengthen the lookback period and if the voting public was that upset about this, they could pressure their elected officials to change the laws.  Since neither of those things have happened this is like taking advantage of a tax deduction that you don't "need" but qualify for. Do you think it is gaming the system to move to Virginia when your kid is 13 so they can go to UVA and pay in-state tuition five years later? It is pretty much the same thing. [/quote]

Living to va at 13 establishes residency. Different. [/quote]

Transferring assets establishes medicaid eligibility after five years. How is that different? When rich people get in state tuition for UVA because they moved to VA do you say they gamed the system? [/quote]

If you move to a state for college you are still paying the instate rate.  It’s your home. [/quote]

Think the person is trying to point out that folks applying for Medicaid LTC care are not necessarily gaming system. [/quote]
