Examples

1) The customer does not own the crowdfunding account

The customer got into a car accident. The injuries caused by the accident made him need nursing home care. The customer’s best friend created a GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign to help pay for the customer’s medical expenses related to the car accident.

Since the customer is not the owner of the GoFundMe campaign, it is not counted as a resource for ALTCS. When the money is given to the customer, it is a gift/contribution and is counted income for non-MAGI Medical Assistance programs.

 

2) The customer owns the crowdfunding account

The customer had a stroke and needed nursing home care. She created a Fundly crowdfunding campaign to help pay for expenses while she is out of work. Since the customer is the owner of the campaign, any money available to her is counted as a resource for ALTCS. All money raised is countable income for non-MAGI Medical Assistance programs.
