A reverse mortgage is a home loan that lets an elderly homeowner convert a portion of the equity in his or her home into cash. The equity built up over years of home mortgage payments can be paid to the homeowner. Reverse mortgages are a type of Home Equity Conversion (HEC). In a HEC, the home is either mortgaged or sold to a financial institution or other buyer in exchange for a regular cash payment or line of credit. A HEC allows the homeowner to borrow equity out of their home with no repayment as long as they live in the home. The notes are due when the house ceases to be the borrower's main residence. Proceeds from a reverse mortgage are loan proceeds, which do not meet the definition of income for Medicaid.
