Pooled Income Trust In The State Of New York

A New York Pooled Income Trust is a trust that allows an individual to shield excess income and still qualify for in-home community Medicaid benefits in their private home.

If you or a loved one is interested in getting home services in your own private home and reside in the New York City areas of Bronx, Westchester, White Plains, Long Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens or Staten Island, the NY elder law and estate planning attorneys of The Law Offices of Michael Camporeale can help you qualify for NY Medicaid within your own private home and help you get services in your own private home with a nurse’s aide even if you have excess income or assets.

Requirements To Qualify For In-Home New York Medicaid Or Community Based Medicaid

In order to qualify for in-home NY Medicaid or community based NY Medicaid as it is also known, a person is allowed to only have assets below approximately $14,500.00 and income below approximately $850.00/month.

However, if your income level is above that limit, you can establish a New York Pooled Income Trust to shield your excess income above that $850.00 limit and still qualify for NY community Medicaid, which will entitle you to an aide in your own private home which is paid for by the NY Medicaid program and not by your private assets or income. This will allow you to keep and use all of your income to pay for your living expenses so that you can continue to live out in the community in your own private home.

For example, if you are a single person not married and your total monthly income including social security and or private pension amounts to $3,000.00 a month. With a pooled Income trust you would get to keep the first $850.00 of your income and the excess amount of $2,150.00 would be put into the Pooled Income Trust and that excess income can be used to pay your monthly living expense including, but not limited to, rent, food, clothing, utilities, cable, phone, electric and heat.
