A New York widow facing nursing home entry with too much money for Medicaid prepays a $14,000 irrevocable funeral contract to protect her assets. The $9,000 funeral cost is covered, but the remaining $5,000 does not return to her heirs; instead, it goes to the local social services district. This rule prevents Medicaid applicants from reclaiming unused funeral funds, ensuring the money is used for community burials. Families must carefully match prepaid funeral costs to avoid losing leftover funds to the county and Medicaid penalties for non-funeral expenses in the contract.
