Qualified Income Trust funds

People who are over the income cap limit for Medicaid purposes ($2,022 per month) can still qualify for Medicaid benefits if they create a document called a Qualified Income Trust (QIT) and open a supporting bank account. If your loved one has one of these trusts then there may be money left in it when your loved one dies.

What do you do with the money that is left over? You send it to the State of Tennessee, Bureau of TennCare at the following address:

TennCare Third Party Liability Unit
310 Great Circle Road
Fourth Floor, West
Nashville, TN 37243

Remember, you cannot use these funds for any other purpose. They must be paid to the Bureau of TennCare.
