So I will try and shorten the long version of this journey but when we had a spend down of assets we signed over Aunties life insurance policy to the Funeral Director and since that time we have learned just recently that the funeral director has passed away and no one will be taking over his clients etc. etc. Since this all just happened within the past few weeks we have not reached out to the Funeral home yet but Aunties medicaid renewal application has come up and the NH is aware of this so not sure what the next step is. The NH business manager is willing to work with us but she has never had this happen since she has been there and we want to make sure things are handled properly. We thought about signing the insurance over to another local funeral home however not sure if that is even possible at this point. Thanks for any input
I think Medicaid has seen all sorts of things. If it was signed over to the funeral home business, I think Medicaid will be flexible but I would ask whoever is in temporary charge of the funeral home business to write a letter confirming what happened and when. Someone from their business office should be able to provide this. Don't give this to Medicaid unless it is asked for.
