I am 66 years old male on SSI. I have the medicare and Medicaid. I will inherit a land overseas that worth $28,000. It is hard to sell and might take years. I don't want the inheritance, because If I accept it, I might lose my Medicaid and SSI. I have glaucoma in one eye, and eye stroke in the other eye that needs monthly treatment which cost $3,800. If I lose my medicaid I can't afford the treatment. What can be done so I won't lose my Medicaid and SSI?
Hi there,
You may want to contact your local SSA office regarding this, they may be able to give you guidance for your particular situation. In some cases you may be able to place the asset in a trust, however as it is land, I really could not say if that's the case. You can find a listing of local offices here:
