trigger a penalty period that delays eligibility. available asset if she does not intend to
return home.
C. The son will be required to pay capital D. Medicaid will impose a lien on the house
gains tax on the transferred assets. for the amount transferred.
Correct: A - The transfer will be treated as a gift and trigger a penalty period that delays
eligibility.
Rationale:Transferring assets for less than fair market value within the look-back period
creates a penalty period. The house is generally exempt if the client intends to return, but the
brokerage transfer is a disqualifying transfer. Capital gains tax is not a Medicaid issue, and
liens are for estate recovery, not for transfers.
Q2.
Which of the following best describes the difference between a Miller Trust and a pooled
trust in the context of Medicaid eligibility?
A. A Miller Trust is used for individuals under B. A Miller Trust is irrevocable and must

by a nonprofit.
Correct: B - A Miller Trust is irrevocable and must contain only income, while a pooled
trust can hold both income and assets.

to meet the income cap, while a pooled trust (d4C trust) can hold both income and assets and
is managed by a nonprofit. Both can be used by individuals over 65, but pooled trusts are
often for disabled individuals. Estate recovery applies to both types.

members are scrutinized; if the note is not actuarially sound or does not provide for
payments, it may be considered a transfer penalty. Converting assets to an exempt
homestead, funding a special needs trust, and prepaying funeral expenses are generally
permissible if done properly.
