Job Description

Legal Assistant - Medicaid Eligibility Specialist - MO HealthNet/Long-Term Care Applications

We are seeking a detail-oriented, compassionate, and highly organized Medicaid Eligibility Specialist to prepare, submit, and follow through on long-term-care Medicaid applications for clients.

This is NOT a government caseworker position - it's a client-facing role inside a private elder law firm where you will have the time, support, and resources to do it right without overwhelming caseloads.

This position is ideal for:

  • Former or current DSS/FSD Eligibility Specialists
  • Former Income Maintenance Caseworkers
  • Hospital-based Medicaid Eligibility Workers
  • Skilled nursing facility admissions/Medicaid coordinators
  • Elder Law Firm Legal Assistants or Paralegals
  • Anyone with hands-on MO HealthNet eligibility experience
Compensation:

$55,000

Responsibilities:
  • Prepare, submit, and manage MO HealthNet / Medicaid long-term-care applications
  • Review client income, assets, bank statements, deeds, and financial documents
  • Communicate with DSS caseworkers and follow up on application status
  • Guide families through spend-down rules, asset documentation, and required verifications
  • Maintain accurate case notes and workflow within our systems (Actionstep, Lawmatics)
  • Work closely with attorneys, paralegals, and funding coordinators
  • Provide updates to clients and explain Medicaid eligibility requirements in simple, understandable terms
  • Track deadlines, respond to Requests for Information (RFI), and support clients through the approval process

This is a role where you are part of a team, not overwhelmed with 300+ cases and impossible deadlines.

Qualifications:

Required: Hands-on Missouri Medicaid eligibility experience

  • (MO HealthNet preferred; LTC experience strongly preferred)

Experience with:

  • DSS/FSD eligibility processing
  • Nursing home Medicaid applications
  • Spend-down rules
  • Asset verification
  • Adjusted income calculations
  • Ability to explain complex rules in a clear, friendly, non-legal way
  • Strong communication and client service skills
  • High attention to detail and follow-through
  • Ability to handle sensitive family situations with empathy

Preferred but not required:

  • Background in a hospital financial counseling or SNF admissions office
  • Social work or human services background
