She was the loving wife of Connie Boermeester, who predeceased her in 2009. Born and raised in Winchester, she was the daughter of the late Andrew and Hazel Dalton. Eleanor graduated from Winchester High School and worked for The Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company for many years. She lived for over two decades on Mountain Avenue in Malden after marrying Connie. When Connie and Eleanor met and married, they became a duo that was beloved by many nieces and nephews. Their legacy will continue in the stories and fond memories shared by their nieces and nephews. Eleanor embraced life at every stage and made friends wherever she went.

Her personality always made people comfortable in her presence. She spent the last five years living at New Horizons in Woburn where she thrived and made friends with many residents and staff members.

Kinnon, Chairman Andrew Zeiberg, Member Frances Lin, Member August 28 & September 4, 2020 assHealth is now using the Social Security Administration (SSA) Life Estate and Remainder Interest Tables to calculate the value of remainder interests and life estates. It no longer is going to use the IRS Book Aleph Life Estate and Remainder Interest Tables which provide for the utilization of the Internal Revenue Code Section 7520 interest rates in effect at the time of valuation. This may very well lead to litigation as virtually all of the elder lawyers in the Mass Chapter of The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys believe MassHealth should not be using the SSA tables. The problem is that the SSA tables use a higher percentage allocable to the life estate than to the remainder interest. In the future, if the home of a MassHealth applicant/member is sold, more of the net sales proceeds will be allocated to the value of the life estate. As a result, the net sales proceeds are once again countable assets in the name of the applicant/member and will have to be spent down on nursing home care. Typically, a parent would be deeding the home to the children reserving a life estate in the class of 1976. He went on to become an electrician, before taking employment with the city of Malden as their wiring inspector. He worked for the city for 32 years until his recent retirement. In November of 2008, Michael married his sweetheart, Pei Y. Ruan, and the two settled down in Malden together. Michael loved being an electrician and working with his hands. He also loved working on and restoring cars, including mustangs, corvettes, and his favorite, the Old Goat. He is survived by his children, Cindy Y. Yung of Malden and David Yung of Malden, his brothers Barry Crotty of Oregon and Paul Crotty of Malden and his grandchildren, Maya and Maverick. Janine C. Donald A lifelong resident of Malden, passed away in her home on Friday, August 28, surrounded by her loving family. Janine was born in Malden in 1940, the daughter of Carmello and Janet Forti. She was raised in Malden and graduated from Malden High School with the Class of 1958. She went on to work in the banking industry, working and retiring from Metro Credit Union in their Operations MASSHEALTH ELIGIBILITY OPERATIONS MEMO 20-16 deed itself. If all parties agree to sell the house, a calculation would have to be made in order to determine the amount of net sales proceeds allocable to the life tenant/parent and the remainderman/children. As an example, if the applicant/member/life tenant/parent and the remaindermen/ children sold the home and netted $232,000, assuming the parent was 87 years old at the time of sale, MassHealth will calculate the disqualifying transfer as follows: $232,000 x .32262 equals $74,848. If the parent is given back the $74,848, the money would have to be spent on nursing home care as he or she would be over the $2,000 limit. If the money is not given back to the parent, MassHealth will simply use that figure in order to determine the penalty period wherein MassHealth simply will not pay for nursing home coverage for the member/applicant. This is a very high percentage allocated to a life estate for someone 87 years of age. If the Book Aleph table was used, the percentage would drop to 2.146%. In our example, the value of the life estate would then only be $4,979! The disqualifying transfer would only be $4,979. The reason for this is the September, 2020 IRS Section 7520 interest rate is now down to .40 percent. I am hopeful that this issue will be litigated as it is just another example of MassHealth’s continuing attack on the elderly. Joseph D.
