Protecting Settlement Proceeds

Allison lives independently in her own apartment and receives Medicaid for personal care services. She is receiving a lump sum settlement of $350,000 from a personal injury lawsuit. These funds could really help her in the future, but she must get them out of her name in order to keep her Medicaid benefits.

She deposits the money into a Community Trust III account to preserve her eligibility for Medicaid services and to allow her to use the funds for future expenses and life-enhancing items and services.
