Never Lose Your Medicaid Benefits

It happens all the time. About a third of the time to be more specific.

Your Medicaid personal monthly allowance builds up slowly inside of your checking account. Or maybe dear cousin Sally passed away and left you $10,000. Or maybe you won on a Scratchers ticket.

Next thing you know, you have more than $2,000 in checking and Medicaid notifies you that you’re over resourced and you’ve lost your benefits until you spend down and reapply.

In most cases, you’re not even aware of the problem because it’s a family member who’s listed as your authorized representative. They’re getting letters from Medicaid (AHCCCS), but they’re not opening them.

So the Medicaid checks stop showing up, and now your assisted living community is telling you and your family you’re in default. You need to pay up or find someplace else to live.

It’s a nightmare.
