NJ Medicaid 5-Year Look-Back
The 60-month window that surprises most families.
New Jersey reviews five years of financial history when someone applies for Medicaid long-term care benefits. Understanding the look-back early is one of the most valuable parts of planning ahead.
01
What it is
When someone applies for NJ Medicaid long-term care, the state reviews the previous 60 months of financial records — gifts, transfers, and asset movements — to decide whether a penalty period applies before benefits begin.
02
Why it matters
Even well-intentioned transfers — helping a grandchild with tuition, gifting a car, adding a child to a deed — can trigger months of ineligibility if they happen inside the 60-month window.
03
What the Review covers
A meaningful portion of the 90-minute Readiness Review focuses on the look-back: how it works in New Jersey, which transfers commonly cause problems, what documentation matters, and planning considerations families should discuss with their attorney.
Educational overview only. Specific transfers, exemptions, and planning steps should be discussed with a qualified elder-law attorney.
