hoosier, according to everything I have read and Social Service people I have talked with, you can own a house and it will be exempt if the house is in the state you are applying in.

Here is a site with a lot of information.

Assets You Can Have and Still Qualify for Medicaid

Dolly, I am so sorry you are having such a hard time getting any help. Hang in there and keep trying.

I do believe there was a time they would count your house as an asset but no longer. I don’t know when that changed.

Thanks for posting that link, for Dolly, Spunky.

I was somewhat surprised to see this....

...Primary Residence. An applicant’s primary residence is exempt if it meets two fundamental requirements. First, the home must be in the same state in which the owner is applying for Medicaid. Second, the home must be valued at $572,000 or less, although some states use a higher limit of $858,000.

That’s a YUGE home value allowance!!
