You can petition to pay only 40% of any rental revenue towards nursing home care if you own your home and rent it to a renter. This means that 60%, not 20%, of the rental income, is yours to keep. So how does it work for those seeking the Nursing Home Loan Scheme? This blog will keep you up to date.
How the Nursing Home Loan Program Will Work in 2023
The Fair Deal Scheme includes an optional component called the nursing home loan. In addition to receiving any financial assistance from Fair Deal, you can apply for this scheme, which is not mandatory and is only there to supplement the main scheme.
For all its value, the loan enables the Fair Deal applicant to postpone making their yearly 7.5% contribution, or 22.5% against their home and assets, for three years. The payment may be postponed until after the applicant's passing. While the 3-year cap does apply to asset payments for the house, it does not apply to rental income.
What the Building Control and Provider Regulation (Amendment) Bill of 2022 Means for Rental Income Under the Fair Deal Solutions
Reducing the amount of contribution against income obtained by renting out their homes is the first modification brought about by the passage of this bill. After the change takes effect, nursing home residents will be able to keep up to 60% of the rental money while only paying the HSE 40%.
This modification was passed on July 6, 2022, and is now prepared for implementation because the HSE has put updated procedures, methods, and records in place. Once completely implemented, it is predicted that this approach will use between 400 and 2,000 rental homes at any given moment.
Under "Housing for All," the government promised to make this modification to remove a barrier to renting out a resident's unoccupied home who is receiving long-term nursing facility care.
The assessment for Fair Deal residents who opt to rent out their vacant house will now be 40% rather than 80% of their rental revenue. As a result, residents can keep 60% of their income as opposed to just 20%.
How to Apply for a Nursing Home Loan in 2023
The Fair Deal Loan application can be made when you first apply for Fair Deal or at any time thereafter if you believe you are unable to pay the annual amount as a contribution to care for your asset.
To find out all updated details regarding the application for the Ancillary State Support you must refer to "Part 6 of the Fair Deal application form" which is available as a PDF on the Citizen Information or HSE websites.
For information and application specifics if you want to apply for the Nursing Home Loan, either for yourself or a loved one, you can also contact Fair Deal Advice, which is a specialist firm dedicated to helping Fair Deal Scheme applicants in Ireland.
The application process involves giving formal permission for a Charging Order to be registered against your asset to apply for the loan. Your spouse or partner must sign off on the agreement if you're a pair. The HSE's debt is secured by a straightforward sort of mortgage known as a charging order.
