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 is facing a Medicaid problem: the programme may value those shares as an asset or windfall even though he cannot easily find a buyer for them. The case highlights a gap between how private company stock is valued on paper and how hard it can be to actually sell, with potential consequences for benefits eligibility.
Why now: It illustrates a little-known clash between private-market illiquidity and Medicaid asset rules that affects people with startup or private shares.
