A whole life insurance policy has a cash value and can count as an asset. If your overall cash value puts assets above the Medicaid resource limit, then that could potentially make your mom ineligible for Medicaid. You may consider to make sure that her estate is not the beneficiary of her life insurance policy. The Medicaid program will seek to take money from her estate, and this cannot be conducted if she choose to change the beneficiary of her policy. Therefore, instead of listing her estate as a life insurance beneficiary, she may consider listing an individual or individuals that will receive her life insurance policy proceeds. Remember it’s always best to get legal advise on this issue.
My name is Bridget ********. I was receiving assistance in P******y County under my husband Donald ****. I moved back to Huntington, Indiana on April 10, 2019. Donald has not received benefits for either of us since February 2019. Donald called and requested that a verification letter stating that I am no longer receiving benefits in Kentucky and when my benefits ended in Kentucky be sent to 3****e Street; *******, IN. 4***0. I still have not received the letter. Donald called last week to find out if and when the letter was sent. He was informed that the letter was sent out on April 22, 2019. My deadline for turning this in to H******n IN., H*****n County was May 1, 2019. I take various medication on a daily basis, some that treat mental disorders. Without these medications I will experience manic psychotic episodes along with withdrawal symptoms. I have contacted my local H*****on office to make them aware of the situation. They made a note in my account and said they would give me a little more time to get the letter turned in. I only have six days left of medicine. I can’t get in to see my psychologist or family physician until this letter gets turned in and my insurance here can be verified as active. Please help me resolve this issue as soon as possible. Best way to contact Donald is by calling his cellphone at 6*******9. Best way to contact me is through my email; b***********@gmail.com.
My local Huntington County office has tried twice to call the P**********y office in Hazard to get verification over the phone that my benefits ended on February, 2019 in K*********; due to long wait times they have been unsuccessful. If someone in the P**********y office could call or fax my H*********n County office in Indiana and verify my case status in Kentucky that would be the fastest way for my benefits in Indiana to be activated. I appreciate any assistance that you may be able to give. Thank you, Bridget J****!
