A NYSARC trust is a type of a pooled income trust that is generally used for community based Medicaid, not for long term care Medicaid in a Nursing Home. NYSARC will pay the income only trust expenses including real estate taxes and other household expenses if you provide the trust to NYSARC. Michael Davidov, Esq.
