What we publish
Miller Trust Guide publishes state-specific informational operational guides that teach families how to use their state's publicly-published Qualified Income Trust (Miller Trust) template to qualify a parent or spouse for long-term-care Medicaid. Every state page contains the income cap, the Personal Needs Allowance, the citation to the state agency's policy manual, the bank-account walkthrough, common denial reasons, and the post-death distribution rules.
Sourcing standards
- Every operational claim cites a primary state agency document (e.g., Texas HHSC Appendix XXXVI), CMS, or a recognized industry aggregator (e.g., Medicaid Planning Assistance).
- Citations point directly to the source URL, not to a summary or intermediate page.
- Where state agencies publish a template, we link to it. We never host or "improve" the template.
- Where a state does not publish a template, we say so plainly and direct readers to obtain one from a licensed attorney in that state.
Author and reviewer
Author: James Whitfield, researcher. The author is not an attorney and does not advise on individual situations. The author is solely responsible for content.
Independent legal review: Miller Trust Guide engages a licensed elder-law attorney to review the full kit and site annually. The most recent review date is published on each state page and updated when the review completes. The reviewer's identity is disclosed on each state page in the schema-marked reviewedBy field once the engagement is in place.
Annual update cadence
Each state page is reviewed annually in January, immediately after CMS publishes the new Federal Benefit Rate. Income cap and Personal Needs Allowance values are recomputed and refreshed. The income-cap-state list is re-verified against current state Medicaid agency policy manuals. State agency URL citations are re-checked for validity.
In addition to the January refresh, pages are reviewed quarterly for citation rot, broken state-agency links, and reader-reported corrections.
