Re: Medicade & Structured Settlements
Income from any source is included in the medicaid benefits calculation. Ask your caseworker. Sometimes these settlements can be structured to minimize the loss of benefits while retaining the assets acquired by a structured settlement. If your attorney wishes to discuss this possibility with me, ask him to call.
