The question might be asked, "How MUCH property," and, "How much is it worth?" I doubt that you could be a millionaire landowner and make a valid claim for assistance. But under "normal homeowner" circumstances, yes, you do not have to be destitute in order to qualify.
The only way to answer that is by calling Medicaid and asking them if you qualify.
I am 19, married, not pregnant, and our total income for 2013 was $4235. Do I qualify for medicaid?
No, being qualified for Medicare does not mean you are automatically qualified for Medicaid. Medicare is a health care system for most older people who paid into the system when they were working. Medicaid is a system for the indigent/needy funded by the government -- you must have only a very small amount of money and no property to qualify for Medicaid.
Yes.
To qualify for TennCare, Tennessee's Medicaid program, you must meet specific criteria based on income, residency, and certain demographic factors. Eligible groups typically include low-income families, pregnant women, children, elderly individuals, and those with disabilities. Additionally, applicants must provide documentation of their income and assets, which should fall within the program's limits. It's important to apply through the appropriate channels, such as the Tennessee Department of Human Services or online via the state's application portal.
You might qualify as the parent of dependent children.
No, you do not have to sell your property to qualify for Medicaid, but the rules can vary by state. Medicaid often allows individuals to keep their primary residence as an exempt asset, provided certain conditions are met. However, if you need long-term care and have significant assets, the state may place a lien on your property or seek repayment after your death through estate recovery. It's essential to consult with a Medicaid planning expert or attorney to understand specific state regulations and options.
If your income exceeds the Medicaid standard in your State, you will have to "spend down" the excess to qualify for Medicaid.
You are not required to pay back Medicaid or Medicare.
There is no specific bank balance limit for qualifying for Medicare, as eligibility is primarily based on age (65 or older) and work history rather than income or savings. However, for programs like Medicaid, which can assist with costs related to Medicare, there are strict asset limits that vary by state. Generally, individuals may need to have less than $2,000 in countable assets to qualify for Medicaid. It's essential for elderly individuals to check the specific requirements for their state and the programs they are considering.
Diabetes is not considered disabling in itself and, therefore, would not qualify one for Medicaid.
Sure, if they meet AFLAC's requirements. Having private insurance is not a bar to receiving Medicaid.
