My mom is in sub-acute and going into the nursing home wing.
She has about $10,000 in old credit card debt that my sister has been paying for her (mom paid the mortgage of the bi-level home they live in.)
Now that we have to spend down money before applying for Medicaid, can sis pay off mom's credit card balance from mom's checking account?
Worried that since sis has been paying the credit cards for years, Medicaid will have something to say about her now paying these from mom's checking account since mom went to nursing home.
It is very important to know whose name is on the title of the house. If it was only sis, there is a big problem there, Medicaid would call that a gift and impose a penalty. Get all the check images for the last 5 years.
