Bill Summary
Relative to the disposal of resources for determining eligibility for Medicaid. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to clarify that the transfer of assets by an individual aged 65 or older into a special needs trust established for their sole benefit, as defined under federal law, will be considered a disposal of resources for fair market value for the purpose of determining Medicaid eligibility. This means that such assets held in the trust will be available to provide goods and services to the individual at fair market value, without being counted against their Medicaid eligibility.
