SSI / MEDICAID AND PREPAYING A FUNERAL

Benefits

Prepaying a funeral prior to SSI or Medicaid acceptance allows you to pay for the funeral of your choice:

Before assets are used up for medical care.
Before your assets are reduced to SSI or Medicaid eligibility levels.

In New Jersey, contact your County Social Services office (Welfare Board), social worker at a local nursing home or an elder law attorney for limitations and guidelines concerning SSI/Medicaid or General Assistance eligibility.
