It is a tool to re-characterize income so that it is within the strict eligibility limits. A Miller Trust in no way increases the income or assets that a Medicaid recipient can keep, its only purpose is to restructure a person's income to fit within the eligibility standards.

Her daughter has asked me for some info about the Miller Trust. My landlady owns a home which I currently rent from her for $600 per month plus utilities. I am also disabled under SSA guidelines and I cannot afford to move. My landlady's expenses for her care exceed her income substantially and her children currently have to pay the difference. Will a Miller Trust for her SSA retirement, annuity and my rent payments give her protections under the Miller Trust provisions? Her family is considering selling the home to me if I can afford it on my SSA disability check. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
