Medicaid Asset Protection Trust
When your assets are placed in a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust, they are not counted as a resource for eligibility purposes. If long-term care is needed, this type of trust allows you to qualify for long-term care benefits from Medicaid while protecting your assets from being depleted.
As long as your trust is created and assets are transferred at least five years before applying for long-term care benefits through Medicaid, you will not be penalized and the existence of the trust will not impact your eligibility.
Pooled Income Trust
A Pooled Income Trust is a type of special needs trust that is operated by a non-profit organization for your benefit if you have disabilities or you are over 65 years old. This trust allows these people to keep income that would otherwise have to be turned over to their long-term care facility.
