Hello all,</div>

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.</div>

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.</div>
