| My question concerns Medicare Part B. Should i contact Soc Sec to see if i qualify for the Specified |
| I have been disabled since 2006. I was receiving both Medicare Part A and B and Medicaid. Around the 2nd week of Nov. 2009 i received a letter from the NJ Dept of Human Services stating that i have been "Terninated effective 12/1/2010." The reason stated was "You are no longer eligible for the workabiity program which requires you to be employed." I was employed part time from Nov. 2006 to Feb. 2009 on the Ticket to Work program. On or about the 10th of Jan. 2010 i received a letter from Soc Sec stating that the state would no longer pay for my Med. Pt. B. They took money out in February and retroactively for Jan. totalling $234.00. I haven''t recovered since. Recently i found that i may be eligible for the Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary which would fully or partially pay for Med. Pt. B. I seem to meet all of the eligibility requirements since i don''t financially qualify for the QMB. Why wouldn''t they notifiy me of this? Is it worth it to contact them? Thank you. |

| NJAC 10:71-4.10(d)(4) contains a Medicaid exempt transfer, the "care giver" child exception for real |
| Jurisdiction- New Jersey
I am trying to figure out what happens if the NJ Div. of Med. Assistance and Health Services denies the validity of the exempt transfer. Can a lien be placed against the property when the caretaking son/daughter''s name is solely on the deed to the property? What''s the effect? Is ownership in the real estate by the caretaking child in any other way jeopardized? Can NJ DMAHS pursue estate recovery against the estate of the patient who entered a nursing home? What specific assets of the decedent could the NJ DMAHS seek to attach- bank accounts? IRA accounts? stock or mutual fund accounts? life insurance proceeds? etc.? TOD accounts included?
In regard to the period of ineligibility imposed by the NJ DMAHS, if the home is valued at $200,000, assume the real estate transferred occurs in 11/11 and that the patient enters the nursing home in 6/12. If the real estate transfer is rejected as an exemption, what is the period of Medicaid ineligibility? |
