Maybe you can suggest having the lawyer set up a Special Needs Trust Fund. I

know for a fact that will not effect her Medicaid benefits (it doesn't in PA)

unless they have different laws in the state that she resides in.

i have this gal who is a kidney panc transplant on Medicare and Medicaid due

to diabetes disabilities. Her finance was killed in an oil rig accident this

summer and she just received a check for $80,000 because of his death.

She has to spend this money in one month or it is counted as income......don't

quite understand it. Any recommendations as how to protect her monies and

continue the Medicare/Medicaid. Should she get a protected Medical account and

put the monies in there. Any suggestions will help. She is in the process of

contacting a lawyer to see what her options are.

I had a pt that lived with family and had land that was inherited. she had to sell her land to qualify for Medicaid and as long as she used the money to purchase a home then she was able to keep Medicaid. I'm not sure if this is different in each state. Just an idea.
