This workshop will cover:
• Community Medicaid services and how to qualify financially
• Update on Community Medicaid eligibility rules, including new 30-month (2.5 year) lookback period for long-term care services
• Detailed overview of pooled trusts and the benefits to help people maintain independence in the community for as long as possible
• How to establish a pooled trust and ensure it meets the regulations set by Federal and New York State statute
• What the trust can pay for to improve the lives of people with disabilities and older adults with disabling chronic conditions.
