So, what's on the allowable list, you ask? Well, it's a long list, but I'll give you the CliffsNotes version. You've got your Medical Equipment (think wheelchairs and walkers), Prescription Medications, and even Dental Care. But, here's the thing: it's not all Rainbows and Unicorns. There are rules, and we're about to dive into the fine print.
For example, did you know that funeral expenses are actually an allowable spend down item? Yep, it's true. You can spend down your income on Funeral Expenses, and it's not just limited to the basic funeral package. We're talking full-on funeral extravaganza, complete with flowers, music, and even a reception. Who knew planning a funeral could be so... lively?
Now, I know what you're thinking: what about Non-Essential items? Can I spend down my income on or a fancy coffee machine? Sorry, friend, but those are not on the list. However, you can spend down on Home Modifications, like wheelchair ramps or grab bars, which is pretty cool, if you ask me.
