    Default Medicaid Reimbursement

    Hello
    I sold my home several months ago and SSI/Medicaid has only now deemed me ineligible for both even though I notified them when I sold the home. I was prepared for the fact I was going to lose my benefits, I have the money from the months' after I sold my house so I can pay them back, and have not used medicaid benefits (I also have Medicare, and that is my primary) Now I am worried because someone told me medicaid will want reimbursement for ALL the money they gave me. I was under the impression medicaid was only able to seek reimbursement for services rendered by them from the time of the sale of the house. I have been on medicaid/ssi for 20 years, they would have to take all my money to cover that and then I would have nothing and have to go on ssi/medicaid again? What is the way they will really seek reimbursement?
    Thank you.

    Default Re: Medicaid Reimbursement

    I am a bit confused as to why you chose to do this, particularly if you knew that you would lose your homestead exemption and have to spend down the proceeds of the sale. Is it that you don't intend to seek SSI or Medicaid benefits in the near future?

    There shouldn't be any attempt to recoup money for benefits extended prior to the sale of your home, at least insofar as it was protected by the homestead exemption, as up to the date of sale it was an exempt asset.
