Medicaid

[FOB]

I live in NY state. Four years ago my mom took up residency in a nursing home. She had previously been living in a subsidised housing apt. On advice of her Medicaid worker, she cashed in her life insurance policies and put money in an irrivocable fund for her funeral. She paid nursing home costs until she reached her allowed amount of $3800 in her non-interest checking account. Since she only received Social Security, the nursing home took all but $50 of it each month and Medicaid paid for everything else. She passed away this past November. Her Medicaid account has been closed, Social Security payments have been cancelled and there is under the $3800 left in her account, which is and has been for 9 years, a joint account between her and I. There are absolutely no other assets. Is medicaid entitled to any of the $3800 dollars that is left?
