Medicaid Qualifying Trusts (MQT)


An MQT is a trust or similar legal device established, other than by a will, under which the grantor (or spouse) may be the beneficiary of all or part of the payments from the trust. The amount from the MQT considered available as a resource to the individual for Medicaid purposes is the maximum amount of payments that may be distributed under the terms of the trust to the individual by the trustee. This Medicaid-only provision has no effect on the income and resource determination for SSI purposes. NOTE: An MQT must have been established prior to 10/1/93, when section 1902(k) of the Social Security Act was repealed.
