Ok, here is a short version of the story. My mother has been on medicaid for about 7 months. She resides in an assisted living facility, and here home in oklahoma has just sold for 53,000 dollars. I have been told that I have a month to spend down the money on her, ie we can buy a car, prepaid funeral arrangements, anything that she needs. But it has to be all gone the end of February (we will deposit her check Feb. 2nd). She only has 85 five dollars left over after the assisted living facility gets her money. BTW we live in texas. Can anyone tell me if all this info that I am recieving from this medicaid specialist that works for an attorney is true?
