How can your clients obtain the best health and long-term care? How can they protect their assets and income against the ruinous costs of care? Most are unaware of the realities of Medicaid eligibility and the benefits that come with this important benefits program, particularly in New York. 

With this workshop, you will be able to assist your clients by answering questions, debunking common misconceptions, providing them with information about reliable strategies, and providing access to more resources. This course will cover:

• The difference between Medicare and Medicaid
  
• Eligibility and planning for Community Medicaid
  • Including home care and assisted living
  • Important information regarding the new restrictions on New York Medicaid that are currently scheduled to take effect July 1 of this year
• Eligibility and planning for Nursing Home Medicaid
  • Including the five-year “look back” and penalty periods
• Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts
• Pooled Income Trusts

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Recognize when Medicare will cover care, and when it is appropriate to seek Medicaid benefits
• Identify the risks and costs of failing to plan for long-term care
• Compare different methods that clients can use to protect themselves and their assets if they need long-term care
• Identify the different Medicaid benefits and eligibility requirements
• Identify how clients can protect at least some of their assets if they have not planned ahead and unexpectedly need nursing home care
