Question: I understand that I am legally allowed to make annual gifts valued at $13,000 (per person) and that these gifts will not be taxable. I have been making such transfers to my children each year. Do these transfers affect my eligibility for MassHealth benefits in the future?
Answer: Unfortunately under Medicaid regulation, it is any transfers that can disqualify you as a MassHealth applicant, even if they are legal under tax law.
