I do not know about your medicaid circumstances, but as a general rule, when you die your assets (including your house) form your estate. Before your estate can be passed on to your heirs, all debts must be settled out of it.

Medicaid can place a lien on your house to recover the costs of long-term care services provided. However, they cannot take your house while you are alive. Upon your death, Medicaid may seek to recover funds from your estate, including the house, depending on state laws.

If sally can paint a house in four hours and john can paint the same house in 6 hours how long will it take both of them to paint the house?

It will take Sally and John 2.4 hours to paint the house together. This can be calculated by using the formula 1/4 + 1/6 = 5/12, which means they can paint 5/12 of the house per hour together. To find the time it takes to paint the whole house, you can divide 1 (the whole house) by 5/12, which equals 2.4 hours.

If you pass away in a nursing home and you were receiving benefits from Medicaid, the state may seek to recover the costs of your care from your estate, which could include your property. This process is known as estate recovery. However, there are rules in place to protect a surviving spouse or certain dependents from losing their home. It's advisable to consult with an estate planning attorney to understand how your property may be affected in such a situation.

Can a person in Texas own a house and property that can be sold for income receive medicaid and government apartment?

I'm not familiar with Texas Medicaid per se, but the Medicaid rules about assets and income are virtually the same nation-wide.If the house/property are your homestead, it is an "exempt" asset for Medicaid purposes. If it's not homestead property, Medicaid will give you a period of time, e.g., six months, to sell the property at more or less its fair market value) - i.e., giving it to the kids for $10 will likely create a serious problem with your Medicaid eligibility, especially concerning long term care such as a nursing home. You may be allowed additional time to sell if you're showing a "good faith effort" to do so (listing it with a realtor, etc.). Once the property is sold, Medicaid will take the net proceeds into consideration in determining your eligibility.I don't have an answer to your question about a "government apartment."

When mom died Medicaid sent a letter saying when dad died they were coming after our homeplace. Mom was not even on the deed. Can medicaid really get it?

Yes, Medicaid can get money from the sale of the home even if your mother was not on the deed. As long as she and your father were legally married, then Medicaid can go after the property to repay the money Medicaid spent for her care. Medicaid will not, however, kick your father out or take more money than they spent on your mother.
