He has not worked legitimately since 2008. He was denied SSDI (said he is misusing pain prescriptions and is untrustworthy) and is now trying again for a different injury. He is avoiding paying child support, CSEA has taken him into court, he will owe til I die having not ever paid support yet escapes felony charges. I cannot afford a lawyer, legal aid will not handle CSEA cases. I now need Medicaid to pay for my insurance premiums and help with prescription costs as he left us homeless and without funds. I am in retirement due to health concerns, can no longer work but I have worked up until now. I receive a small pension and SS retirement having enough work credits. Any stimulus that he received was forfeited to the state of OH to repay them for the 2 years that I was on TANF while I reorganized our lives to get back on our feet. He has no attachable funds for my SS either as my own work credits are more for the past 10 years.
I however doubt you will be seeing any from an unemployed drug addict who can’t even get ssdi. Even if he did, he’d owe you what, 400 month?
Not even the authorities can get blood from a turnip. And if you’re in retirement, your children are probably grown, making recovery even less of a priority. I would minimally worry about it as far as Medicaid goes
