Is workers compensation included in income consideration when a person has Social Security and is applying for community Medicaid?

I just looked it up and Medicaid never includes workman’s compensation income as countable income. So if you receive workers compenstion it won’t be counted when your eligibility is determined—https://www.medicaid.gov/state-resource-center/mac-learning-collaboratives/downloads/part-2-income.pdf

If this is permanent then I'd say yes. If temporary, I wouldn't think so but this is a question for Medicaid.

If it is regular retirement social security it is not taxable. If it is disability or SSI it is probably taxable both federal and state. If it is a permanent Workers Comp claim award is also a determining factor in some states. I would consult an accountant or attorney in your state.

If it’s not taxable income, it shouldn’t be included but that may vary from state to state
