Having savings when on SSDI, Medicare with Medicaid extra help
(1/1)
Neohioguy2000:
I have inherited money. Nothing lifestyle changing but something I’d like to save for when I’m a senior citizen. I’m in my early 50’s and I live in Ohio.
I could use a suggestion for someone to talk to about what my options are, if any. Currently, my money is in a family members account (who I trust) but this isn’t ideal for obvious reasons.
As mentioned in the subject, I am on SSDI, Medicare and Medicaid extra help. Would it be best to talk to an attorney or someone more familiar on the medical side? I don’t want to cause any red flags. My health isn’t the best but it’s not the worst.
Could I use this money to purchase a house? Am I allowed to have anything of value in my own name?
Just trying to survive in these crazy days.
Thanks
