ENRGOM Asked November 2010

If they take Medicare and Medicaid do they take the SS check too?

EXPERT Carol Bradley Bursack, CDSGF Nov 2010
If you mean when someone goes to a nursing home on Medicaid, yes they do. They take all but a small amount each month. It's part of the financial qualification process. Medicaid is for people without assets. You may want to talk to an elder law attorney is you have questions.
Good luck,
Carol
