When can I file a Medicaid Application?

For a single individual, a Medicaid application can be filed when you have entered a nursing home, your countable resources have been reduced to below $2,000 and after all periods of ineligibility have expired. For a married couple, a Medicaid application can be filed when the institutionalized spouse’s countable resources have been reduced to below $2,000 and the Community spouse’s assets have been reduced to the appropriate CSRA limit.
