FAQ
Briefly, what happens is that all countable assets are added up and the state Medicaid agency decides how much you can keep of the combined assets. This is called the Community Spouse Resource Allowance (CSRA).
The Community Spouse Resource Allowance (CSRA) is $109,560 and the Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance (MMMNA) is $2,739.
Elective Statutory Share: Take ½ of the sum or share that would have passed to the spouse had the testator died intestate, reduced by ½ of the property derived by the spouse from the decedent by any means other than testate or intestate succession upon the decedent's death.
The total of the assets is divided by two, with half considered to be owned by each spouse. In some states, community spouses are entitled to up to 100% of the couple's assets up to the maximum resource allowance for that state. States with a 100% CSRA include Alaska, California, Florida, Maine and Mississippi.
Treatment of Assets for a Couple In 2025, the community spouse (the non-applicant spouse) can retain 50% of the couple's assets, up to a maximum of $157,920. If the non-applicant's half of the assets falls under $31,584, 100% of the assets, up to $31,584 can be retained by the community spouse.
A surviving spouse of the decedent is entitled to a homestead allowance of $15,000 (adjusted to $24,000 as of 2020, as provided in section 1210). If there is no surviving spouse, the decedent's minor and dependent adult children may share the amount of the allowance, divided equally.
All of a beneficiary's monthly income, with the exception of a Personal Needs Allowance of $60.00 / month, Medicare premiums, and possibly a Needs Allowance for a non-applicant spouse, must go towards nursing home costs. This is called a Patient Liability.
