You can protect assets based on the amount paid by your LTC partnership policy. Assets are protected in both LTC eligibility and estate recovery. If the partnership for long-term care program is discontinued, an individual who purchased an approved plan before the date the program is discontinued remains eligible to receive dollar-for-dollar asset disregard and asset protection under the long-term care (LTC) medicaid program.
