Ok, I just posted quick story in 'deadbeat parents' about how this Beaver County of W.Pa works and here is what I am dealing with now. I hope some information is helpfull to others.
Important estate plan infomation... if elderly or have elders.. put your estate into a trust..... that is the only way you can keep peoples hands out of your pockets later.. If elders should end up in nursing home, all bank accounts, etc etc will end up wiped out by nursing homes...any money owed after this is used will be lean on property...you will here in pa, have 5 years to get things in your name before they go into a home or they can still attatch property......unless it is in a 'trust' older owners still can sell, do what want but moves down line when one passes...state not take or attatch..most elderly scared to do such with property. Now, also DONT think medicare is enough insurance... here in pa it only covers 20 days in home...after that..you are on own..make sure get some sort of insurance like Blue x shield etc prior to home..What happened here is this:... Elders had strokes and went to home meanwhile the wife died and he still in home..Medicare quit paying after his 20 days..so figure state welfare medical kick in..(was told that at homeat time he admitted)..but the lady that took care of paperwork in state welfare department was off sick and on vacation for a month and I was told have to wait her come back and not worry about the 'stack' of medical bills getting...said will be retro....so ok...finally the lady got back to work in beaver county welfare office (wife and I apply for her parents)..WWII purple heart vet and was told this....I have to write check for $7,000 to cover the month he lacked insurance before lady at state office ok the take over of state welfare medical for the 84 yr old vet. I pay for welfare?..Thought already did with my taxes?...Now I get phone call from 26 yr old punk with no job that pumping out kids (5) like rats bragging about all the welfare funding he gets and all the programs free..and I am to keep my cool?... I have to sell off a stock to pay for the 7g but now with the economy like it turned, I lost a grand on the stock.(state lady found out about stock owned)..said I could get the money from that...I hard time convince state lady benefits not for us.(we not responsable for his bills but they add up against his property unless have medical coverage)...we just doing leg work...they said is our parents and found out we have the stock and said we could sell it to pay nursing home.. so hands are tied and what I am against..guess have to do it in order to get medical coverage......I figure the 7g is to pay for some of the rest of deadbeats bills...state way to get some cash back into system..????? opinions?.....sorry about rant but there are some smart people in HC....and it is hard to keep cool dealing with all this crookedness...unfair.??. oh ...guess what, our state rep Veon had been ousted for stealing thousands and thousands from us while in office....maybe that is where the money is going?...pay for some state agency to steal????...ok, keep cool...don't worry about it/??
