About the Program
This presentation will describe the benefits available from ALTCS (the Arizona Long Term Care System) and the Veterans Administration to help offset the cost of long term care. We will discuss the criteria for eligibility, and what is necessary for an unmarried person, and a married person to qualify.
We will discuss techniques that are available to plan for eligibility for these benefits in the future, and how those techniques can be incorporated into an estate plan. We will also discuss how certain estate planning techniques may inadvertently interfere with someone’s eligibility for these benefits if they should need them in the future.
