Start Care at Home Sooner Than Later!
An Interview with Roscoe C. Brown, Jr., of the Tuskegee Airmen
No Five-Year Look-Back for Home Care in New York!
By Hal Drucker
F
rom our first meeting 15 years ago, we became fast friends. Dr. Roscoe Brown “wings it” from his office as president of Bronx Community College, with the maneuver he employed to down a Messerschmitt 262 jet fighter from his red-tailed P-51 Mustang prop plane. It was the subject of a Postal Service commemorative stamp honoring the Tuskegee Airmen. “One may ask,” Brown intoned, “How does one take down a 262 Jet with a prop plane?” “Well, we were escorting B-17 bombers from 25,000 feet over Berlin. I was the squadron leader flying last in the formation. I saw the jets coming in at 9 o’clock. We had practiced some maneuvers to deal with that, and so instead of going right for the jets so that they would turn away from us, we did a reverse field – turning upside down at the level

of the bombers, going away from the jets so they wouldn’t see us. I turned a hard right so I caught the jet as he was coming forward. He was actually going about my speed; he had to slow down to get a bead on the bombers. Their normal speed was about 100 mph faster than ours. Once they slow down it takes some time to build up to speed. We got three jets on the day. One pilot ejected. That German pilot who ejected successfully survived the war; they were trying to bring him over here so that we could meet, but he passed away. “Young people are the fodder for old people who make wars. That’s the sad part of it,” he continued. “When you get thousands of troops to hit the beach on D-Day; you don’t go in there with the expectation of

Long Islanders: Presidential Campaign Needs More Focus on Social Security
L
ong Islanders said the 2016 presidential candidates and campaign need to focus more on Social Security and its future, and they posed questions to experts at an A ARP Community Forum at Hofstra University just 11 days before the university hosts the first presidential debate of the 2016 campaign. Hofstra Executive Dean for Suburban Studies Lawrence Levy and A ARP’s Director of Financial Security & Consumer Affairs Cristina MartinFirvida joined A ARP New York State Director Beth Finkel in the community conversation with over 100 Long Islanders.

“We’re looking at a 25 percent cut in less than 18 years unless our leaders in Washington act to update Social Security for the 21st Century,” said Beth Finkel. “It’s important that our leaders address Social Security’s solvency – and soon.” “The population of Long Island and many other suburbs is getting older and older, and most of these people are not now or will not be wealthy or anything close,” said Lawrence Levy. “They also may not have the pensions and other savings of prior generations. That means Social Security will be an ever more important part of maintaining quality of life for more and more people, and the economic vitality of the communities in which they live.” In fact, Social Security generated over $87 billion in economic activity in New York state in 2012, according to A ARP’s Public Policy Institute. “A ARP launched our ‘Take A Stand’ campaign this year to urge the presidential candidates to lay out their plans to update Social Security, to act if elected, and to urge congressional candidates to commit to work with the new administration to get it done,” said Cristina Martin-Firvida. “Options for heading off a 25 percent benefit cut become much more difficult the longer we wait. We need to hear what the candidates would do, and we need action next year during the all-important first year of what could be an eight-year administration.”
A ARP is a national sponsor of the presidential debates, and A ARP is planning additional activities at Hofstra leading up to the initial faceoff including community listening posts to give students and residents the chance to weigh in on the importance of updating Social Security and an on-campus debate watch party.

Social Security benefits will be cut by nearly 25 percent in 2034 if the program is not updated; such a cut to the popular program into which working Americans pay every day to earn their benefits would mean the loss of about $4,200 a year in today’s dollars for the average New Yorker 65 and above, according to a recent A ARP analysis. Meantime, a recent survey of A ARP members showed that those in New York rate having Social Security available to them in the future as their top economic concern, with 87 percent saying they’re “extremely” or “very” concerned about it.

Start Care at Home Sooner Than Later! No Five-Year Look-Back for Home Care in New York! By David R. Okrent, CPA, Esq.
O
n a regular basis, clients rely on us to help them structure payment of long term care services for a loved one, and time the onset of the services. Many people, professionals included, confuse the very intricate rules of the Medicaid program to the point of planning incorrectly. Time after time, I’ve met with clients who have told me they are not receiving services, or have incurred exorbitant costs on Home Care because they were told to spend down to Medicaid Exempt resource limits, or wait five years to cover transfers. This is just wrong information. There is no transfer penalty… No five-year look-back for Home Care in New York! If a person’s resources exceed the Medicaid Exempt amounts they can be transferred, then he or she will become eligible for Home Care Medicaid the next month. This permits families to transfer income and savings so a frail elderly individual may receive services they need, without becoming completely impoverished. Keeping an elderly parent at home can be a
challenging task for an adult child. Private home care can be expensive, with costs sometimes reaching as high as $100,000 a year for continuous care. Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover long-term home care, however New York State offers a Medicaid program that helps pay for home care. For a single person, the basic exemptions under 2016 New York Medicaid rules are: $14,850 in savings, IRA type assets in pay status, a home they live in with less than $828,000 in equity, (be careful here, because if the individual dies or needs nursing home care, the home is no longer exempt), a prepaid funeral, and income of no more than $845/month, plus medical expenses (like insurance). If an individual has more income then allowed, it can be contributed toward the cost of care or transferred to a special trust. Be mindful, this is the time for careful planning because the rules for nursing homes are different and must be considered. It is well documented that preventive care saves money. Waiting too long to receive care that you need is dangerous! It will ultimately
cost more, and the likelihood is the level of care needed will be greater. Having assistance a few hours-per-day for someone who is forgetful, or not sturdy on their feet, may prevent them from a harmful fall or missing a critical medication dose, resulting in escalation of healthcare needs. Also, bringing in services when an individual is in a crisis creates additional stress for the entire family. It is always a good idea to start services early. I hope this information is helpful and inspiring. The Medicaid program is complicated and deserves a level of craft that a skillful professional can give you and your family. Mr. Okrent, Esq. has been handling elder law, estate planning & special needs matters for over 30 years. He works on policy matters as the immediate past Long Island Delegate of the NYSBA\Elder Law Section. His former experience as a CPA and with the IRS g ives him a unique perspective in creating estate plans. Visit www.davidrokrentlaw.com or call 63150+ 427-4600.

4 Key Estate Planning Documents By Aaron Futterman, CPA, Esq
T
he four key cornerstone estate planning documents include the last will and testament, a health care proxy, a living will, and a durable power of attorney. The last will’s main function is to dispose of property to your intended beneficiaries. You state who gets your property and how they get it. Do beneficiaries get it outright? Is it held in trust? Is it held in trust until a certain age? Who’s in charge? Who's the executor to make sure that your wishes are carried out? All these questions need to be answered when preparing a last will. A health proxy creates a principal agent relationship. You appoint an agent to act and speak on your behalf regarding medical decisions if you are unable to communicate your wishes yourself. Interrelated is the living will which is a statement regarding your wishes in the event you were ever diagnosed to be in a permanent vegetative state; it is instructions to your healthcare agent. Power of attorney: again, creating a principal agent relationship, however the purpose is monetary. Why is it important? As people grow older, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to handle their finances and it becomes critical if one were ever in need of nursing home help. Your agent can aid in obtaining financial eligibility for Medicaid to pay for a nursing home. 50+ Futterman and Kanza, Attorneys at Law, 222 East Main Street, Suite 314, Smithtown, NY; 631-979-4300.

Senate Aging Committee Examines Recommendations to Address America’s Retirement Crisis
A
s of 2015, the difference between what people have saved and what they will need to live in retirement was a staggering $7.7 trillion. This serious gap is concerning workers across our country, 82 percent of whom say their generation will have a much harder time achieving financial security compared to their parents’ generation. As part of their bipartisan commitment to addressing America’s retirement crisis, U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Claire McCaskill, the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, held a hearing today titled, “Securing America's Retirement Future: Examining the Bipartisan Policy Center's Recommendations to Boost Savings.” The hearing examined the findings of a two-year study conducted by the Bipartisan Policy Center’s (BPC) Commission on Retirement Security and Personal Savings. Former Senator Kent Conrad and James Lockhart III, who serve as co-chairs of the Commission, testified about the BPC Commission’s work to identif y recommendations that could increase and improve retirement savings.
50+ LifeStyles October 2016 • www.50PlusNY.com
“According to the Center for Retirement Research, there is an estimated $7.7 trillion gap between what Americans have saved for retirement and what they will actually need. Making matters worse, the Federal Reserve found that nearly half of individuals do not have enough savings to cover an emergency expense of $400,” said Senator Collins. “Neither party has a monopoly on good ideas to address this crisis.” “Our committee has rightly focused on ways to ensure Americans have opportunities to put money aside and not outlive their savings, and has also done a lot of bipartisan work ensuring people are not defrauded out of their life savings in or near retirement,” said Senator McCaskill. “We are encouraged that the issues of savings and retirement security have attracted bipartisan interest ...” said Mr. Conrad and Mr. Lockhart in their written testimony. “We hope that our work can inform these efforts and can contribute to meaningful action.” Under Chairman Collins’ and Ranking Member McCaskill’s leadership, the Senate Aging Committee has made addressing the retirement security crisis a top priority, holding a series of
hearings to examine and advance solutions. They have also worked to protect older Americans by combatting fraud that targets seniors. Last year, Senators Collins and McCaskill introduced the Senior$afe Act, bipartisan legislation that would implement innovative financial protections. 50+
