Have you heard about the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA)?
The Corporate Transparency Act (the “CTA”), passed by Congress in 2021, 31 USC 5311-5336. Requires Beneficial Ownership Information (“BOI”) to be filed with Financial Criminal Enforcement Network (FinCEN), became effective on January 1, 2024, requiring every small business in the Unites States to tell the government the name and home address of those who are beneficial owners of the company.

Do you understand that both the reporting company and its beneficial owners are required to register with FinCEN?

All beneficial owners of a USA based LLC that meet the requirements will have to file their information in a BOI report.

Does my company fall under CTA – BOI Requirements?

Most businesses that formed in the USA, prior to January 1, 2024, are required to file a BOI report. For companies formed before January 1, 2024, the deadline for the initial BOI report submission is January 1, 2025.

If I fail to File my BOI what will happen?

Late filings or Failure to File can result in fines of $500 per day, up to $10,000 and up to two years in a Federal Penitentiary.

How Do You Know if Medicaid is What You Need to Be Applying for?

First and foremost, there are only three ways that inpatient nursing home care, long-term care, or skilled nursing is paid: by private pay $$ or Medicaid [Medicare and/or health insurance does not pay for this type of care].
Private pay in Alabama will cost a family $8,000.00 plus a month. Long-term care insurance pays an amount set by the contract per day, not the full amount of the bill. There is a limit to the total amount of benefits that will be paid. This is typically $150 per day with a maximum of $150,000 lifetime. That leaves the family to pay the remaining $100 per day, $3,000 per month. After 33 months, the family has to pay the full amount.
Medicaid: If or when the person has less than $2,000 in countable assets. In other words, when a parent has spent everything earned and saved, house, land, retirement, and life insurance.

Should I let the Nursing Home apply for Medicaid?

The answer is no. The nursing home is good at getting the nursing home owner paid, not protecting the family while ensuring care for your loved one. When our attorneys create a Medicaid plan it goes like this:
The first part of the plan is to make certain that the client or Medicaid applicant will have appropriate care for life. If that life is 2 years or 20. This could involve care-at-home, assisted living, and/or nursing home care later.
Before a plan is established… the attorneys at VEP look at all available assets owned by the applicant to determine what assets the family will be able to keep.
All money will have to be spent down to below $2,000 prior to Medicaid eligibility. This can be done in ways the most beneficial to the applicant and family.
If there is real estate, the real estate will need to be sold at fair market value. Fair market value must be established prior to the sale. Failure to do so could result in a significant Medicaid penalty. In fact, there is a 5-year look-back on any gifts, sales of real estate, vehicles, or other financial transactions. It all will be examined for fair market value transactions.
If the client/applicant is married, the spouse can keep the house. A community spouse (Medicaid language for the spouse who stays at home).
