How much in countable assets can one have and be eligible for MassHealth to assist with nursing home payments?
When applying for assistance for long-term care services in a nursing home, MassHealth eligibility is largely based on an applicant’s countable and non-countable assets. If married, the spouse who remains in the community is allowed $109,560 in countable assets and the spouse applying for benefits is allowed $2,000 in countable assets. A single person or a married person with a spouse already on MassHealth is allowed $2,000 in countable assets.
