Manchester Office

I thought it would be fun to provide some pictures of my offices for those of you who might have an opportunity to visit one of these days.  This set is of my Manchester Connecticut office. In Manchester I am "Of Counsel"  with the firm Lavigne & Mark, LLC.  Of Counsel means I work for the firm but am not a Partner or Associate.  As such I can still maintain my own separate firm.  My other firm is The Law Office of Andrew W. Ewalt, LLC which has its own office   in Storrs Connecticut (same town as the University of Connecticut).  I will add pictures of that office next time.   The first picture is of our building. 945 Main Street, Manchester, Connecticut The second picture is of the suite door. Our suite number is 208. The third picture is of our reception area. After opening the door to our suite this is what you will see. Fianlly, a picture of my office. 

Medicaid: Changes In Eligibility Rules

In 2005 Congress passed some the most sweeping changes to Medicaid in history. President Bush signed the bill into law on February 8, 2006.  Here are some of the many changes that will effect future applicants for Medicaid.

1.  Exemption limits on the value of an applicant's home.

2. Restricts the use of annuities.

3.  Changes the look-back period to 60 months (5 years).

4.  Changes the start of the penalty period.

5.  Expands the long term Care "Partnership" program to all 50 states.
