New Jersey Medicaid Information
TESTIMONIAL
I’m a World War II Veteran and reside in an assisted living residence in Monmouth County, New Jersey. I hired Mr. Niemann, an attorney recommended to me by my family attorney as a lawyer experienced in elder law and veteran benefits. I hired his firm for asset protection planning, Medicaid for my wife and the filing of an application for Veterans Aid and Attendance benefits. The staff and professionals at Scarinci & Hollenbeck (formerly Hanlon Niemann) were all very capable, responsive and caring. I feel like they are family to me.
My legal affairs were capably and diligently processed and I was able to obtain the benefits my wife and I desperately needed.
I am grateful to Mr. Niemann and will recommend his office to all of my veteran friends.

Mary contacted our office concerning her mom who was living in an assisted living facility. Mom had transferred her assets to her 3 daughters. They had begun to spend some of the money on Mom’s care but had also opened and closed accounts, moving, combining and commingling assets. Over time it would have been very difficult to follow the paper trail ... >> full

MEDICAID MESS
Every so often, I come across a situation that illustrates so clearly the dangers of going it alone or getting bad advice when dealing with the common issues and dilemmas that seniors and their families so frequently face. I received a call last week from a son living out of state. Mom and Dad, living in New Jersey, were no longer able to live alone. They transferred their home to their son, and moved in with him. That’s when the plan fell apart.
Dad’s health deteriorated more rapidly than anticipated and needed nursing home care. The couple then spent down their remaining assets and applied for nursing home care for Dad. Meanwhile, Son placed the New Jersey home up for sale.
Much to their surprise, the family was informed that the state Medicaid office denied Dad’s application. Why? Because the transfer of the home to Son caused a Medicaid ineligibility ...
