1. US Supreme Court rules against warrantless seizure of guns in home while man is in hospital for suicide evaluation.

CANIGLIA v. STROM No. 20–157 Decided May 17, 2021               During an argument with his wife, petitioner Edward Caniglia placed a handgun on the dining room table and asked his wife to “shoot [him] and get it over with.” His wife instead left the home and spent the night at a hotel. The next morning, she was unable to reach her husband by phone, so she called the police to request a welfare check. The responding officers accompanied Caniglia’s wife to the home, where they encountered Caniglia on the porch.               The officers called an ambulance based on the belief that Caniglia posed a risk to himself or others. Caniglia agreed to go to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation on the condition that the officers not confiscate his firearms. But once Caniglia left, the officers located and seized his weapons. Caniglia sued, claiming that the officers had entered his home and seized him and his firearms without a warrant in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The District Court granted summary judgment to the officers. The First Circuit affirmed, extrapolating from the Court’s decision in Cady v. Dombrowski, 413 U. S. 433, a theory that the officers’ removal of Caniglia and his firearms from his home was justified by a “community caretaking exception” to the warrant requirement.               Held: Neither the holding nor logic of Cady justifies such warrantless searches and seizures in the home. Cady held that a warrantless search of an impounded vehicle for an unsecured firearm did not vio- late the Fourth Amendment. In reaching this conclusion, the Court noted that the officers who patrol the “public highways” are often called to discharge noncriminal “community caretaking functions,” such as responding to disabled vehicles or investigating accidents. 413 U. S., at 441. But searches of vehicles and homes are constitutionally different, as the Cady opinion repeatedly stressed. Id., at 439, 440– 442. The very core of the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee is the right of a person to retreat into his or her home and “there be free from un- reasonable governmental intrusion.” Florida v. Jardines, 569 U. S. 1, 6. A recognition of the existence of “community caretaking” tasks, like rendering aid to motorists in disabled vehicles, is not an open-ended license to perform them anywhere.

2. Happy Father’s Day June 20 to my Dad, Al Vercammen

Happy Father’s Day June 20 to my Dad, Al Vercammen, veteran of Korean War, past president Metuchen First Aid, and a volunteer leader of the YMCA Indian Guides. As a kid one of my great memories was to sit in the Metuchen First Aid ambulance and hit the siren as we rode in the Metuchen Memorial Day parade. Dad was selected as Man of the Year by the Metuchen Jaycees for his volunteer work. Dad and mom traveled to Scranton while I was in college to see Mike Brennan and I win a race for the University of Scranton Varsity Cross-Country team. We enjoyed spending time every Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day with then for 28 years at the Poconos Lake house, now at Dad’s Active Adult Community in Jackson on Father’s Day     My sister Janet wrote: “Honoring my dad Albert Peter Vercammen on Father's Day! A little history about this remarkable man...Both his parents came from Belgium with his father Albert Louis originally from Antwerp & his mother Virginia from Brussels. My dad lived in an apartment with his parents & sister Rosie in Jersey City, New Jersey. Later, Al served in the Korean War in January 1955 & after his return was working full time as a plant manager plus going to college to be an engineer. Luckily, one weekend he went to a singles resort and met the love of his life Carol Ann Rasche who lived in the Bronx, NY! He threw a football & Carol caught it so he thought "wow. she's athletic!" Al & Carol were married September 6, 1958, had three children (Kenneth Albert, Steven Edward & Janet Ellen), a dog named Snoopy & had over 61 years of adventures together!  Carol & Al started their journey together in Jersey City, then moved to Edison, NJ for 43 years, had a house in the Poconos for 28 years & then made a great decision to move to an active community in Jackson, NJ. They made many friends & joined so many clubs that it's hard to list them all! I once asked my dad to list all the places & countries he & mom visited & he said it would be easier to list where they "didn't" go!! It's amazing now to look back & see what great role models my parents are & all the memorable family camping vacations, trips to the Jersey shore and many long car rides in the family station wagon!! Besides all the great trips & my dad working full time he was a volunteer for the Metuchen First Aid Squad, was active with his children in Indian Guides & Indian & Princesses & always has a positive & easy going attitude!  On this Father's Day want to thank my dad for being an amazing dad, grandfather & friend! Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

1. Medicaid Planning in New Jersey: Levels of Long-Term Care, Cost and Eligibility 2.  Celebration of Life Memorial Service John Bachenski Sr. June 27 3. More YouTube videos

1. Medicaid Planning in New Jersey: Levels of Long-Term Care, Cost and Eligibility by Thomas D. Begley, Jr., Esquire, CELA

Tom Begley Jr., Esq., a distinguished author and speaker in New Jersey. Tom’s website has a wealth of information and forms on Medicaid, Special needs planning, and guardianship. Ken Vercammen has been fortunate to serve as a speaker with Mr. Begley for the NJ State Bar Association.    There are four frequently used levels of care in New Jersey.  The cost of adult day care averages $70 to $120 per day, home care averages $28 per hour from an agency, assisted living averages $6,000 to $10,000 per month, and nursing homes cost $10,000 to $14,000 per month.  Medicaid will pay for all four of these levels of care.  Citizenship and Residency     To be eligible, the applicant must be a resident of the United States who is either a citizen or an alien who can be classified as an eligible alien.  The applicant must also be a resident of the State of New Jersey.  Clinical Eligibility     There is also a clinical eligibility test.  Essentially, to be eligible for Medicaid an applicant must be unable to perform three of the six activities of daily living, which are transferring, bathing, dressing, feeding, toileting, and continence, or suffer from severe mental impairment.  Income     There is an income test for Medicaid for all four levels.  The income cap for Medicaid eligibility is $2,382 per month for 2021.  All income that a Medicaid applicant receives is counted.  This includes earned and unearned income.  Income from the sale of a resource is excluded.  The proceeds continue to be treated as a resource.  Monies received as a settlement from a casualty insurance claim so long as the repair or replacement is made within 9 months is excluded.  Third-party payments for medical care or services, including room and board, are excluded.  Income received by the spouse of a Medicaid applicant is not counted. New Jersey follows the "name on the check" rule.  This means that income belongs to the person whose name is on the check.  If a check is payable to a particular individual, that individual is considered to be the owner of the income.  If income exceeds the income cap, a Qualified Income Trust ("QIT"), also known as a Miller Trust, can be established to obtain eligibility.  Resources      For Medicaid eligibility purposes, income and assets are considered resources.  The asset limit for Medicaid for all four levels of care is $2,000.  If the applicant is an adult residing in the same household as his or her spouse, the resources of the ineligible spouse, also known as the community spouse, are deemed to the applicant in determining resource eligibility.  A resource assessment is made at the beginning of the first continuous period of institutionalization or the date of the Medicaid application, whichever first occurs.  For a married couple the Community Spouse may retain half of the couple's countable assets with a minimum of $26,076 and a maximum of $130,380 in 2021.  Certain resources are excludable.  All resources are included, except a house occupied by an individual as his or her principal residence.  One automobile is excluded, if it is used for transportation for the individual or a member of the individual's household.  Personal effects with a value not exceeding $2,000 are excluded.  The cash surrender value of life insurance policies, if the total face value of the policies does not exceed $1,500 are excluded.  The value of resources that are not accessible to an individual through no fault of his or her own, such as irrevocable trust funds, property in probate, real property that cannot be sold because of refusal of a co-owner to liquidate are not counted.  Burial spaces intended for use for the individual, his or her spouse, or any other member of his or her immediate family are excluded.   Transfer of Assets     There is a Medicaid transfer of asset penalty for any transfers for less than fair market value made within five years prior to applying for Medicaid or receiving an institutional level of care, whichever comes first.  An institutional level of care is a nursing home, an assisted living facility, or home care where the recipient meets the clinical eligibility test.  The penalty for a transfer within the five-year lookback period is calculated by dividing the amount transferred by the average monthly nursing home cost, regardless of the level of care actually being received, which as of April 1, 2020 is $10,730.10 per month or $357.67 per day.  As of the writing of this article, the amount of the divisor had not been increased.     Assets include all assets of the individual and the individual's spouse.  They also include assets to which the individual and the individual's spouse are entitled, but do not receive because of inaction.  Examples would include waiving a right of inheritance or not accepting or accessing a personal injury settlement.  The transfer of a home would be considered an asset, even if the individual is residing in the home as a primary residence.  Fair market value is an estimate of value based on generally available market information.  Transfer of asset provisions apply to transfers made by the Medicaid applicant or the spouse of the Medicaid applicant.  There are exceptions to the Medicaid transfer of asset penalty for transfers of assets to certain individuals.  The home may be transferred without penalty to: The spouse of the Medicaid applicant; A child under age 21 or a child of any age who is blind or totally and permanently disabled; The brother or sister of an institutionalized individual who already has an equity interest in a home prior to the transfer, and who is residing in the home for a period of at least one year immediately before the individual becomes an institutionalized individual; The child of an institutionalized individual who is residing in the individual's home for at least two years before the date the institutionalized individual became institutionalized, and who provided a level of care to such individual which permitted the individual to reside at home rather than in an institution or facility; or  A trust established for the sole benefit of an individual under age 65 who is disabled. Non-home assets may be transferred to: The spouse of the Medicaid applicant; A child who is blind or totally and permanently disabled; A trust established for the sole benefit of an individual under age 65 or to a child of any age who is disabled. Hardship provisions exist but are extremely difficult to prove. More Valuable information on Medicaid and asset protection at BegleyLawGroup.com 509 S.

2. Celebration of Life Memorial Service John Bachenski Sr. June 27

John Bachenski, Cynthia Vercammen’s father, passed away on June 18.       A Memorial get together will be Sunday June 27 at Edison American Legion Father & Son Post 435 from 12-3pm 43 Oakland Ave, Edison, NJ 08817 (732) 985-9768 He celebrated his 95th birthday with family on his birthday March 17, St. Patrick’s Day. He was Ukrainian, not Irish, but enjoyed the Irish food and drinks. My father in law John Bachenski served in WWII in the Army Air Corps, the forerunner of the Air Force. He helped start the sonar radar program for the Army. I joked he successfully helped defend the air base at Boca Raton, Florida from the invading Italian navy. He was proud to wear his Air Force hat every day. We enjoyed visiting him after he moved from Edison to Cocoa Beach Fl. He taught my son the love of fishing. He was a life Member of Edison Elks 2487 and had been a member of the American Legion. Masons and other patriotic groups. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/mycentraljersey/name/john-bachenski-obituary?pid=199141200 Cocoa Beach, FL - John Bachenski of Cocoa Beach Florida passed away on Friday June 18th, 2021, at the age of 95.  [Cynthia’s Dad, Father in Law of Ken Vercammen]        John was born in Perth Amboy on March 17th, 1926, to his father Leon Bachenski a carpenter and his mother Anna Maximovich. His older sisters Mary, Annie, and brother Steven all played part in the raising and caring for each other. His love of electronics and his natural mechanical aptitude came early and continued for his entire life. Having anything repaired by others was out of the question. He later built several houses his family would live in. He attended Perth Amboy Vocational School where he continued his study of electronics. His other love was basketball where he actively played including participating on the Army Air Corps team. During World War 2 John worked on B-29 radar systems as a corporal and team leader. He was offered a scholarship to the Air Force Academy in 1947 but decided that military life was not his direction. His first professional job was with Perth Amboy Dry Dock (had a basketball team!). He was employed by Dupont Parlin Photo Products as a plant supervisor and metals inspector for 30 years.        After retirement, he worked as a precious metals inspector for multiple companies until 2012. John never let a challenge go by that did not deserve to be met. His love of life and family was immeasurable. He always was there for his friends, neighbor or anyone who would ask him for help. Condolences to his children Cynthia Vercammen, John Bachenski and Diane Camina and their mom Anita. A memorial get together will be held on Sunday June 27th at the Edison American Legion Father & Son Post 435, located at 43 Oakland Ave, Edison, NJ 08817 from 12 - 3pm.

Fighting a DWI under the influence of prescription medication or drugs If someone charged and guilty of being under the influence of even legal prescription drugs while driving, there is a mandatory loss of license for 7 months-12 months. The NJ DWI statute is not only about prohibiting driving after drinking. It also prohibits driving after taking prescription medication, which may render someone under the influence. Even if a medical doctor prescribed the medication police can still charge someone with driving under the influence of those medications.     It does not matter whether the drugs are legal or illegal for the seven-month suspension. If does not matter if you have a valid medical marijuana card.      If charged with DWI under influence of a drug, you need to have your attorney immediately file specific motions:    Pretrial Motions             1) Suppress Evidence 2) Miranda/Privilege 3)  Exclude Lab Tests 4)  Discovery Required 5) Request to compel discovery 6) Defense demands expert reports of the state 7)  Objection to DRE Drug Recognition Evaluator and Experts, 8) Notice of Objection to Lab Reports 9) Challenge to Chain of Custody More motions and info at https://njlaws.com/dwimeds.html   3.  Kenneth Vercammen was selected to the 2021 Super Lawyers list.

Attorneys- If space exists you can attend if you want to learn more about expungements.   SPEAKER: Kenneth Vercammen, Esq.  (Author- Criminal Law Forms by the American Bar Association)   The NJ statute on expungement was revised. Nothing is automatically erased yet. If someone has been arrested or even had a private criminal complaint signed against them in the Municipal Court, they have a criminal record, even if the charges were dismissed if not expunged. Under NJ Law past criminal arrests and convictions can be expunged/ erased under certain instances. This program will discuss the expungement process. I served as a Municipal Prosecutor and was amazed how minor criminal guilty pleas and even dismissed charges can affect someone’s ability to get a job or advance a career. Do you have children or someone you know or work with that needs an expungement?     To attend email VercammenLaw@Njlaws.com https://www.facebook.com/events/2310189209117175           Thank you for reading and sharing our Newsletter.   Friends and clients can help us by....   Helping us with a review on Google: https://www.google.com/#q=Kenneth+Vercammen&lrd=0x89c3c87ea72dbd57:0xdbd3622846daeec9,1   Liking us on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/Kenneth-Vercammen-Associates-PC-Law-Office-Edison-NJ-08817-149816077985/reviews/   Help us with a review on Avvo: https://www.avvo.com/attorneys/08817-nj-kenneth-vercammen-571594.html   Help us with a review on Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/kenneth-vercammen-and-assoc-attorney-at-law-edison
