Abstract: Medicaid plays a significant role in financing long-term services and supports (LTSS) for low-income elderly (65+) in the United States. We modeled the impact of changing income, home equity, and asset limitations on Medicaid eligibility across states. We found that one in five elderly adults (10 million individuals) meet all three tests and would be financially eligible for Medicaid LTSS. Imposing additional restrictions on income allowances and eligibility thresholds had greatest impact on financial eligibility for Medicaid LTSS. Few states have opted to restrict financial eligibility and are instead looking for ways to keep people living independently in the community.
