A reverse mortgage is a mortgage contract that allows a homeowner, age 62 or older, to borrow a percentage of the appraised value of his home. The homeowner then receives either a periodic payment or a line of credit which does not have to be repaid as long as they live in the home.
The proceeds from a reverse mortgage are not counted as income in the month received. However, if they are retained into the following month, they must be evaluated as resources.
