ONE-HOUR ONLINE CLE COURSE 

DATE: TBD

This 1-hour advanced course covers in detail the divestment rules on paying family members for care. Payments to family members are treated as penalty-causing divestments under long-term care Medicaid, but a person can pay a family member for home care under strict rules and with the use of a Medicaid-compliant family caregiver agreement. This course covers each of the internal elements of the agreement, as well as various external state requirements to validate the payment of a family member as a non-divestment activity. (For similar course in California, click here.)
