Medicaid May Count Illiquid Startup Shares as a Windfall
Original: His $90,000 in Private-Company Shares Looks a Lot Like a Windfall. Medicaid May Value Them Before He Can Find a Buyer
A man holding roughly $90,000 in shares of a private company faces a Medicaid problem: the program may assign a value to the stock for eligibility purposes even though he cannot easily find a buyer. The case highlights how illiquid private-company holdings can be treated as countable assets, potentially disqualifying him from benefits until they are sold or the value is spent down.
Why now: It touches a common worry about how Medicaid counts hard-to-sell assets when determining eligibility.
