Epi 88 Can I pay a Family Member to Care for a Loved One.
Jan 25, 2023 Episode 88
Todd Whatley and Sara Scott

Today Todd and Sara tackle a very common question and issue causing problems with aging families.  It makes sense to pay for a family member (child or grandchild) to get paid to care for an aging loved one.  It makes sense to you but not to the Medicaid agency when you need to apply for Medicaid.  

Today we discuss how to make this work which takes PRE PLANNING.  You have to do this on the front end and not the end.  We talk about how to make this clear to Medicaid that the checks to the caregiver was not a gift.

Knowing this information will save you a lot of trouble when it comes time to apply and could save you in attorney's fees when the attorney goes to apply for Medicaid for you.  Listen and learn

Information to help you answer all of your questions about aging.
