The Medicaid home care program has a strict monthly income cap. If your income exceeds the cap, you are ineligible, but you can establish a Pooled Trust to receive the excess income and apply it toward your monthly household bills. Then, each month, just send the trustee a check for the excess income and household bills of the same amount, and the trustee will use your income to pay the bills. It’s like bouncing money off a wall and getting it back, but it enables you to qualify for valuable benefits to help you stay home longer.
