Medicaid and long-term care planning in Texas

Nursing home care in Texas can cost thousands of dollars every month. For many families, Medicaid becomes part of the plan. Its rules are complex, and mistakes can delay eligibility for months.

What Jonathan explains and handles

  • Eligibility basics. Texas Medicaid has strict income and resource limits for long-term care.
  • The 60-month look-back. Gifts and transfers for less than fair value in the 5 years before applying can trigger a penalty period.
  • Qualified Income Trusts. If income is over the Medicaid limit, a properly drafted QIT (sometimes called a Miller trust) can help someone qualify.
  • Spousal protections. Rules that let the spouse at home keep income and a share of the couple’s resources.
  • The home. When it’s exempt, and how Texas estate recovery may affect it later.
  • Before an application. Planning ahead so your family knows what to expect. Jonathan does not prepare or file Medicaid applications himself.
