What happens if you gift a home to someone then apply for medicaid nursing home?
Any change in the way an asset is held is a "transfer" of assets. The nursing home resident may transfer approximately $100,000 to the spouse living in the community without penalty. Otherwise, in general, if the State determines that the applicant or recipient did not receive "fair market value" for the transfer, it may decline to pay nursing home costs for the time that the transferred assets would have paid for that care. (Other medical assistance can be approved if the person is otherwise eligible.)
