Distribution of cashed in life insurance policy.

pochahantas I need a bit more info, if you can answer these questions, it may help me to help you. How are you paying for her living expenses now? Is her only income $99.00? Does she own a home or any other assets, accounts? Is her life insurance policy available to cash in prior to her passing on? What are the terms of the policy is there a beneficiary named? Any info or anything in your circumstance may help?

When Mom cashed in her life insurance, what did she do with the money? If this is a Medicaid situation, then, yes, I believe she could have kept $2,000. Why didn't she? Does she have a pre-paid cremation/burial agreement? She is allowed that, too.

Please provide a little background and more detail about what you want to know.
