Re: reimburse the state for entitlements
It depends, that could happen. It depends on your specific situation.
For example, someone with money in the bank becomes paralyzed, in order to get social security and hospital treatment a guardian must be appointed. The guardian will spend down the money in the person's bank account with an allowance for certain needs, and then ssi and disability kick in.
