Most middle-income families will depend on Medicaid to help meet the expenses of in-home or residential assistance, but this means-tested federal program requires careful planning in order to ensure a person will qualify when the need arises. Many people mistakenly believe they can still qualify for Medicaid assistance if they give away or transfer their assets shortly before that assistance is needed. However, gifts or transfers made less than five years prior to the time Medicaid assistance is required will typically result in ineligibility for that assistance, so it is critical to begin the Medicaid planning process long before the assistance will be needed.
