Each State has different Rules and Policies. Sad part is the new Claw Back Rule for Wealth that has been transferred to Children under Older Federal Income policies.

You need to take one of your Trusted Family Friend and have a sit down with the Home Management Point person. Been down that road five different times,and with each new Family Member entering a Home ,the new rules are just plain stupid.

Watch out for the Claw Back. Recovering 60 months past money transfer to Children gets ugly.

You can thank Paul Ryan for that one.
