My 94 year old mom is currently covered by Medicare/Medicaid. Due to her failing health she now lives in an assisted living home. Because of her limited monthly income of $711 from Social Security and $141.80 pension, money has been loaned to her over the past many years to help cover living expenses.

We are now faced with paying back those loans so will need to sell her home place. The income from the sale of her home property will first be used to pay off those loans. If there is money remaining after loans are paid, I would expect that money to be used for her care so no further loans will be need to be made.

How will Mom’s Medicaid coverage be affected by this ONE TIME additional income from the sale of her property?
