To qualify for Medicaid benefits an applicant must prove financial need. A part of that financial assessment is a review of monthly income such as Social Security, pension, or required minimum distributions from retirement plans. Medicaid determines how much income an applicant may keep and how much (if any) must be turned over to Medicaid.
