Whole Life Insurance
Medicaid applicants can keep a small life insurance policy with a face value below a state-specific limit while still qualifying for benefits, allowing them to make a wealth transfer to their heirs after passing.
A whole life insurance policy is a life insurance contract that stays with the owner through their death. It is funded with a single premium and is guaranteed issue. A small policy with a face value of $1,500 or less is considered an exempt asset for Medicaid in most states.
