When it comes to qualifying for Medicaid, people often have a lot of questions and concerns. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for those individuals to get incorrect advice or information, which may lead to unintended repercussions. For example, some people think you should not have any assets in your name when applying for Medicaid. However, the truth is that if you give everything away, you may actually end up delaying your Medicaid qualification. Moreover, the government may still attribute those assets given away to you when calculating your benefits.
