Quick answer: In 2026, Georgia's Medicaid asset limit for long-term care is $2,000 for a single applicant, or $3,000 if both spouses are applying. Georgia's home-equity limit is $752,000.

For 2026, Georgia's DFCS policy manual (Appendix A1) draws the countable-resource line at $2,000 for a single applicant, rising to $3,000 when both members of a couple are applying together.

On the home-equity side, Georgia sticks to the federal floor rather than the ceiling: the state uses a $752,000 equity limit for 2026, even though federal rules would technically allow states to set that number as high as $1,130,000 (Georgia DFCS Appendix A1; CMS 2026 Community Income and Resource Standards).
