Medicaid is a means-tested benefit program that is directed by the Federal Government and administered at the State level. Because of this, there can be specific rules that must be followed in North Carolina that do not apply to other states. The program, overall, is meant for the disabled and impoverished.
One way to meet the impoverished definition is for an individual to “spend down” their assets to get below $2,000 in countable resources. Our goal is to start the planning well before assistance is needed and instead of having “spend down” as your only option.
