[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 457785, member: 1514"] Here it is 3 years but basically if she has no money now what they do is look to see what happened to that money and see if someone actually abused her trust. This basically is why my mom lived with me as long as she did and wasnt on medicaid and just on medicare for as long as she was. She came to me with a bit of money so I had to spend her down until she was eligible for medicaid. We sold her trailer when she came to live with me and because of that I had to quit my job so her money basically helped me to cover some of the costs but no where near what I lost in my income! I cant remember exactly how much it is that the formula is but you multiply and divide and get the months that are ineligible. Its like 45k divided by 1800 = so many months. That is when I put in for my moms medicaid. When she ran out of money. I didnt have to tell them what I did with her money, I just told them she didnt have any. When she had no more, I just put in for it. Does that make any sense. I knew that eventually she wasnt going to be with me so I just spent her down until she had no more money and then when she had none, I applied. [/QUOTE]
