I am new to SSI and reporting every change in X amount of time. About seven weeks ago, unfortunately my father died and left an inheritance that I received from his VA benefits. I hadn't reported yet, only because I have been so wrapped up in everything involving my father's passing, because he did live with us, so there was much more involved. Yesterday, my at home Nurse asked me if it was going to mess up my Medicaid? Not only was I stumped, but I had not even thought anything about that part yet. So now I have to act quick. Have found out that I need some sort of trust, fast or is making one now a moot point? Help. I would like to contact Mr. Gabriel Heiser but I don't know how to do that from here. Any answers to the trust/Medicaid dilemma or how to contact Atty. G. Heiser would be greatly appreciated.
or
if your disability is from something before age 25/27 maybe an ABLE account.
How creative to me depends on the amount of $. But whatever is done is not a DIY, I’d suggest you get with a disability law atty.
*** Most people on Medicaid SSI have and still pay some form of taxes ... usually before illnesses, Aging, Death, Disabilities - there needs to be a more humane and rational application to treating our sick and poor elderly fairly!!!!
+++ I would be in favor of placing a small fee (VAT) on all purchases via the Internet ( putting Brick & Mortar Stores out-of-business, laying-off workers. effecting Property Vales) and apply that to a 'restrictive' Health Care Account to subsidize the Medicaid / Medicare Funding System!!!
I think the Trust, if you need one, is a Miller trust, but it may be that is not available for you, as the money is from a VA pension.
Good luck, and keep asking questions!
