[WSBAPT] Medicaid lien exception - child caring for parent?

Fri Feb 16 06:36:27 PST 2024

Michael,

See attached. I was so pleased to learn of and lookup the anti-poverty group that publishes this, the name and address of which are at the very end of the PDF. Here is their website: https://www.solid-ground.org

Amy also kindly shared that she refers such Medicaid work to:

Sean Bleck at STIB Law in Seattle and to Josh Brothers at Brothers & Henderson

Best, Josh

Eric,

              Take a look at page 7 of the attachment, which explains when a home can be transferred without incurring Medicaid ineligibility.  Here is a relevant excerpt:

              I refer Medicaid work to Sean Bleck at STIB Law in Seattle and to Josh Brothers at Brothers & Henderson.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Medicaid lien exception - child caring for parent?

Potential client has been told that, because he cared for his mother for the last 7 years before she went into memory care (she is still living), he can get some kind of exemption or exception from her house being hit with a Medicaid lien. Can anyone tell me about that, or cite the reg?

Also, he is wanting guidance on what, if anything, he could or should do right now to document his eligibility for the exception. Referrals and self-referrals welcome—

Client is in King County though it might not really matter for this job. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Eric
