My dad is in a home now, we sold his home and now he has too much money for Medicaid help right now. He needs to spend down on things for himself I know but he wants to still give his family his usuall gifts of money for Christmas and birthdays. Is this allowed?
Let me suggest this: it is time for gifts to flow the other way. The kids and grandkids should be sending money to him, to care for him, he deserves that.
