Recently, Georgia discontinued its Adult Medically Needy Program for nursing home residents. As a result, individuals who have monthly income more than three (3) times the SSI limit must establish a Qualified Income Trust (QIT or Miller Trust) to become eligible for Medicaid. Section 2407 is one of the sections describing QITs.
If you have questions about Georgia Medicaid, do not hesitate to contact us or another Elder Law Attorney.
