As with almost everything related to Medicaid planning, how your retirement accounts are handled will depend on several factors.
If the account is currently paying out, then you may only be responsible for reporting it as income.
On the other hand, some accounts may be tallied in total, so an account valued at $100,000 may be considered a $100,000 asset by Medicaid.
It’s important that you take proactive steps to address Medicaid eligibility as soon as possible, and hopefully well before you or your spouse need it.
