David R. Okrent

Q. I've seen spousal refusal mentioned, but what is it?
A. In 1998 a law was passed that authorized a community spouse to refuse to have his other assets used in the computation of the institutionalized spouse’s Medicaid eligibility. Known as “spousal refusal,” this option helps to prevent spouses from becoming impoverished when their loved ones are faced with such need.
