Earlier this year, New York passed changes to its Community Home Care Medicaid program that affects who may qualify for long-term home care benefits. This change instituted a “look-back” period and penalties that may make it harder for some people to qualify for this valuable home care Medicaid benefit. While these changes were originally set to go into effect on October 1, their implementation was delayed until January 1, 2021.
The good news is that this delay means you have more time to protect your assets and file your Community Medicaid application but you need to get started right away. The sooner you begin the Medicaid process, the less likely it is you will face penalties.

Medicaid is a necessary program that provides much needed long term care services for our loved ones but it’s not without difficulty and complication. The Community based program can provide an aide to help keep your parent or spouse safe in their home for years to come and the Chronic Care program can pay the expensive nursing facility should their needs rise to that critical level.
However, Medicaid is not an easy program to apply for and the current eligibility rules and application process can make the family regret they ever asked for help. To make it even more difficult, New York State has announced sweeping changes to the Community Medicaid Program that will impact the care and financial well-being of aging New Yorkers for years to come.
