*DISCLAIMER – The new rules have only been adopted by Kentucky
Department for Medicaid Services in early and mid-2010 and are quite
complex. It is possible that they may be changed, or interpretations may
be further refined and revised by the government between now and when
your particular Medicaid eligibility case is determined. It is not
possible for me to assure you that the strategies described in this
material will be effective in the future. It may also turn out, because
of changes in the law or interpretations of existing law, that other
planning strategies which you can pursue at this time may prove to be
more advantageous than the strategies suggested. Thus, you should
understand that although this represents a discussion of the law at this
time, there is a risk that the information may be rendered ineffectual,
or of limited benefit, by future legislation or interpretations. You
should understand that while it is certainly prudent for you to obtain
professional guidance and advice, the benefits or possible risks
associated with the plan rest entirely with you. |
