Reverse mortgages can be a valuable tool for seniors looking to access their home equity without selling their home. However, when combined with Medicaid, a means-tested program providing healthcare for low-income individuals, it's crucial to understand how these two financial elements interact. This guide will explore how reverse mortgages and Medicaid can affect each other, and what considerations seniors should keep in mind to maintain their benefits.
A reverse mortgage allows homeowners aged 62 or older to convert part of their home equity into cash. Unlike traditional mortgages, borrowers receive payments from the lender. The loan is repaid when the homeowner sells the home, permanently moves out, or passes away.
Medicaid is designed to help individuals with limited income and assets. To qualify, individuals must meet strict financial criteria, which typically exclude the primary residence up to a certain value, personal items, and a car. However, how does a reverse mortgage affect Medicaid eligibility?
