Why someone with 600K liquid in resources (plus whatever other assets they have) plus whatever retirement monthly income they both are paid, did NOT hired an experienced with Medicaid attorney BEFORE ever filing an application is beyond baffling.

Average stay in a NH is 2.5 years & average NH cost is abt 11K mo. She’ll still be left with a pretty good chunk of change.

*******
& thanks for another great post, Trouble!

I wonder who wrote their prenup. A competent lawyer should have known about this and warned them.

The scariest part to me, is that the 600K was in her own personal IRA that she had for herself - before they were married.
