Sponsored Story: Should You Move Your Current Pooled Income Trust to KTS?

April 13, 2021 Sponsored Story

People are not always aware that they can switch to a new pooled income trust. Others aren’t sure that it’s the right move for them—even if they are unsatisfied with their current one. Or they may not be sure that now is the right time to make the change. Once they finally decide to seek out a new pooled income trust, they don’t know what to do or how the process works.

Are you wondering if switching is right for you? To help you decide, we recently sat down with Carlos Nath, Senior Trust Advisor with KTS Trust, who’s experiencing an increase in customers coming to KTS from other trusts. As an expert in his field, he shared some of their most frequent questions and his answers including what you can expect when you make the switch.

QUESTION: I am currently enrolled in another pooled income trust, but I’m not satisfied with their service. Can I transfer to a new trust?

Many people are surprised to learn that they can switch. If you are not satisfied with your current pooled trust, know that you are not stuck! Yes, trusts are irrevocable but that doesn’t mean that you can’t close your old pooled income trust and transfer to a new one.

The truth is that Medicaid does not care if you transfer your account, but they do care and want you to continue to make your deposits without interruption. That means you cannot skip a monthly deposit. So, once your old trust account is closed, you will need to begin making your monthly deposits into your new trust. Bottom line—don’t skip a payment!

QUESTION: I’m thinking of switching to a new trust, but I am concerned about my Medicaid coverage. I don’t want my benefits to stop or be interrupted. How can I be assured that if I transfer, my Medicaid will continue without any issues?

Transferring to a new pooled income trust is not unusual and can provide greater peace of mind, particularly if you experience poor service from your current trust provider. You are definitely not alone! We’ve helped many customers in the same situation. Last year, we saw a 62% increase in customers, some who felt they had nowhere else to turn and wanted to switch to KTS.

Fortunately, switching does not affect your Medicaid benefits! You don’t have to worry as long as you follow a few easy steps. Just be sure that you continue your monthly deposits with the new trust without any interruption. This will ensure that your Medicaid coverage will continue seamlessly.

Also be aware that when it comes time to recertify (annually) for your Medicaid benefits that you obtain proof of deposits from your old trust, in addition to the new trust. Learn more about making the switch to KTS at https://ktstrust.org/switch-to-kts/
