Her monthly applied income payment to the nursing home is over $4000. Yes, Medicaid is paying the difference. I called my congressman’s office and was told they heard from another constituent with the same problem. Later I heard from the nursing home that at least 3 other residents on Medicaid owe federal taxes. I relayed this information to my congressman’s office as well. We are aware of the change in the medical deduction and expect federal taxes to exceed $300 next year so am relieved that others are experiencing this as well. It will have to be addressed. Thanks for the input!
