Government programs are there to help those in need, so they should be simple to use and accessible to everyone. Unfortunately that is not the case. As far as Medicaid is concerned you may be surprised at how complicated it can be to receive benefits to assist you. Here are some reasons why you should consider having an elder law attorney assist you with accessing your Medicaid benefits.

Constantly Changing Laws

The rules change, and change often. While the program is there to help you, it can be difficult understanding what the proper forms to file are, when to file them and what information that you need to include. Incorrectly following the process can lead to delays in getting your benefits as well as not qualifying for everything you may actually qualify for.

An elder law attorney can help you with all of this information and assist you in ensuring that everything is filled out properly

Income Restrictions

Medicaid is there to help those who qualify and show financial need. Just because you exceed some of the financial requirements that doesn’t mean you are automatically denied benefits. Your elder law attorney can assist you in the best way of handling your assets while helping to make sure that you qualify for any Medicaid help you might need.
