[WSBAPT] PI Settlement Proceeds and SSI/Medicaid Eligibility

[Setareh Mahmoodi]

Hello all,

I’m looking for guidance I can pass along to the mother of one of my clients. She is in her mid-70s and will receive approximately $16,000 from a $30,000 car accident settlement after attorney fees and reimbursement of Medicare and Medicaid medical expenses.

My understanding is that she receives SSI and Medicaid for health insurance purposes. She is not in a nursing home or receiving long-term care services. Given her limited income and resources, the family’s primary concern is preserving her eligibility for both programs while minimizing the costs associated with any planning.

If anyone has experience with this and has a few minutes to chat, or can share resources or recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!


Best regards,

___
