Medicaid Planning And Annuities
Summary
In Colorado, gifting or placing $70,000 in an irrevocable trust within the Medicaid 5-year look-back period can trigger similar penalties, as both actions are based on the amount transferred. Medicaid planning annuities convert assets into income streams, potentially reducing countable assets for eligibility. A Miller Trust helps applicants with excess income qualify for Medicaid. Remaining funds in a Medicaid annuity may reimburse the state. Consulting an elder law attorney is advised for tailored advice on asset protection and Medicaid planning.Full Conversation
Can you provide an answer toy first question please,
It seems you're asking whether the penalties for gifting $*,* and placing $*,* in an irrevocable trust prior to applying for Medicaid are the same. In general:
- Both actions can trigger penalties if done within the *-year look-back period.
- The penalty period is based on the amount transferred.
It's best to consult with a local elder law attorney for specific advice. Let me know if you need anything else!

Ok. Thank you. To be clear, $* being the exact same amount gifted or placed in a trust is the same time penalty
In general, both gifting $*,* and placing $*,* in an irrevocable trust within the Medicaid *-year look-back period can trigger penalties. The penalty period is typically calculated based on the amount transferred, so they might result in similar penalties. Consulting a local elder law attorney is advisable for more precise advice.
The only time there should be a difference in penalty timer is if one amount was higher than the other. I'm saying that only a gift will be done or only the money will be placed in an irrevocable trust not not both.

Just please tell me what a Medicaid planning annuity is and why a Medicaid planner would use it to place some but not all of the applicant's funds. My real like example is a $* gift to be placed in a checking account owned by the daughter the applicant while the remaining $* be placed in an annuity that will find the checking account eachonth on $* increments

Ok. Is that a miller trust?

A Miller Trust, also known as a Qualified Income Trust, is used to help Medicaid applicants with excess income qualify for Medicaid benefits. It holds income above Medicaid limits and is used for medical expenses. It's different from an annuity, which is used to convert assets into income. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Please explain the name of the annuity. I learned that any money left in the annuity when the application dies becomes the states to pay back Medicaid. Am I right

When it comes to Medicaid planning annuities, you are partially correct. These annuities can be set up so that any remaining funds, after the applicant's death, may be used to reimburse the state for Medicaid expenses paid. This is known as the state being a remainder beneficiary. If you have further questions about how these annuities work, feel free to ask!

Well I already know that the Medicaid planner I have consulted wants me to do the gift money to s familyemner where I therefore can touch it and have no control and at the same time put the smaller amount left over after the gift, into an annuity. I am just not comfortable giving my money away I'm a gift. I would rather use it to buy a house and also put that house into an irrevocable trust. What do you think
