Keeping Your Benefits After You Settle: It Is Not Simple!
Recently I volunteered with the West Virginia State Bar to answer phones on Tuesday night when we offer free information by calling a toll free state-wide hotline. I had a number of calls, but one of them was very disturbing. This caller lost her in-home services provided by Medicaid when her attorney settled her case without addressing this issue. For a very small settlement, the caller lost her in-home service provider and risked being placed in a nursing home. With proper planning, this did not have to happen!
