**Figured I should crosspost this… Feel free to do the same on any forums you’d like…** **Do you know a senior in assisted living, skilled nursing, or receiving home healthcare** ``` This is more for older people, most likely your grandparents (65 and up, or disabled Vets) ``` I kind of stumbled onto this with my new job down in florida (I do estate planning for high net worth clients, ie. 10 million plus for the most part), and figured it might actually help some of your families out. It will greatly assist the senior you know, and probably help preserve any inheritance that they’d like to leave. ANYWAY… They may be entitled to a military service related government pension of up to $23,396 tax free… a year. A lot of people in here have relatives whom are Veterans that are in Assisted living facilities, and they are draining their savings on a daily basis at an alarming rate. After watching my grandparents drain their savings only to worry about the costs of care (to the point where my grandmother will neglect to take my grandfather to the hospital when hes having chest pains, due to a $50 dollar co-pay, stingy lady) My family has since scolded her, and shes gotten better. This pension is completely legit, and that’s why I’m posting it on all of the forums that I’m a member of. (Its been around since 1951) This benefit isnt only for the poor, but with rising healthcare costs, I see no harm in educating the public on how to qualify for money that Veterans earned for their service. If anybody has a better idea how to get the word out on this please pm me. Feel free to shoot me an email @ [williamjbaxter@gmail.com](mailto:williamjbaxter@gmail.com) If you know of anybody who might benefit from this service. I stress, there is no charge. Elderly people who aren’t veterans may be eligible for benefits from the state… for example, in the state of florida, if you qualify for Diversion (a medicaid benefit) claimants can recieve 1300 + or - a month. Each state is different, but there are benefits out there that most people are unaware of. Feel free to google it, but if you have any questions, I’ve become quite efficient at navigating these benefits, so email or pm me if you are confused. ---

^ I dont know how I’m cashing in? More or less showing people who have very little or have something they’d like to preserve by teaching them how to qualify for a benefit that is rightfully deserved. **Lets do a quick case study...** Your grandmother, who is 75 is healthy as can be, she 90 lbs and shes been caring for your grandfather whos 85… his life expectancy is around 5 years, hers is closer to 10… They have $150,000 in cash assets, and a $100,000 residence (a house if you will) Grandpa weighs 220lbs, and other than a little dementia has been a breeze for granny to take care of, except last week he fell and broke his hip and wont walk (well; if at all) again for the rest of his life. Granny cant lift him, so she hires help 7 days a week, 4 hours, a day (just to put him to bed and wake him up, to get him in his wheelchair)… which costs about 500 a week… or 2k a month… which pretty much eats up ALL of their monthly income. How can they afford to eat? how can they afford to pay their bills? how can they afford to buy their heartless grandson a birthday present? etc etc… Well, they can spend down their assets, and when it hits an allowable rate, qualify for medicaid, VA benefits, etc etc… Or with some advice, they can qualify for all of the above right now and have an extra 1500-3000 a month to help pay for said benefits. They can use an attorney for this advice (around her attorneys charge 5,000-20,000 for an elder law case) I would hope you love your grandma enough to make her aware of these benefits, because god forbid that grandpa goes into a nursing home, that 150k will be burned through in a matter a year or so. And if you’re a poor planner, grandma is going to be left with nothing when grandpa dies, and then she’ll have her income cut in half when she loses his social security. (good luck paying all your bills on $1000 a month, especially if she gets sick now and she needs assistance, after all she’s been stressed to the max up until grandpas untimely death) And for the next 10 years of her life, she’ll live below the poverty line… Not exactly a great plan if you asked me… but hey, its your grandparents and you and your love ones will be the ones that grandma moves in with when she loses her house. **_I see this EVERY day. But yea, its SPAM…_** ---
