Under the law in Massachusetts, before an insurance company is allowed to issue a check to an individual who is going to be receiving a settlement from an insurance company, the insurance company is required to check with three (3) separate departments in Massachusetts 1. MassHealth, 2. Department of Revenue, 3. Child Support Division of the Department of Revenue. In the event you owe either State taxes, money to MassHealth as a result of the accident, or child support, the insurance company will be notified of this; and a deduction will be made from any check you are entitled to.
