Abstract:
This bulletin discusses the often-confusing interplay between North Carolina's laws regarding spousal support and responsibility and the provisions of the federal Medicaid statute that apply to income and assets of a married couple when one spouse is a nursing home patient and applies for Medicaid payment for nursing home care while the other spouse continues to live in the community.
