Medicaid is a needs-based health coverage program, funded jointly by state and federal governments. Elderly adults can apply for Medicaid in order to help alleviate the extremely expensive costs of long-term care, but there are a few reasons why obtaining Medicaid benefits is more challenging than many seniors realize.

Medicaid has strict income and asset requirements. Even if you don’t consider yourself wealthy, you may have too much in terms of countable assets to qualify for Medicaid. However, you can’t just give all your assets to your children or spend your savings before applying; Medicaid doesn’t cover everything you’ll need in retirement or in a nursing home, and Medicaid considers any gifts, donations, or transfers to a trust within 5 years when determining whether or not you qualify. If you wait until you need long-term care, it may be too late. The application process itself can also be frustrating, confusing, and time-consuming. Any mistakes made can jeopardize your eligibility or cause you to start from the beginning.
