Bill Summary
Relative to the disposal of resources for determining eligibility for Medicaid. Elder Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts' Medicaid laws to exempt the transfer of resources to a special needs trust established for the benefit of a disabled individual of any age from being considered a disposal of resources for less than fair market value. This provision aligns with the federal law under 42 U.S.C. § 1396p(d)(4)(C), which governs special needs trusts, and aims to preserve these trust funds for disabled seniors to maintain their Medicaid eligibility.
