Disclaimer

MedicaidChecklist is a document-preparation and organization service.

• It does not provide legal, financial, tax, or medical advice.
• It is not a law firm; no attorney–client relationship is created by using it.
• It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any federal or state government agency, including any state Medicaid program.
• It does not complete, file, or submit your Medicaid application for you, and does not represent you before any agency. It prepares you to file; you (or your attorney) file the application with your state.
• It does not advise on transferring, spending, sheltering, or restructuring assets. Where your situation raises questions like these, the packet directs you to a licensed elder-law attorney and gives you the questions to ask.
• Eligibility and approval decisions are made solely by your state Medicaid agency.

Rules and dollar limits change. Every figure in a packet is dated and linked to its official source so you can verify it before relying on it.
