Can You Have Life Insurance On SSI? 
That is a great question ! There are no rules that would prevent you from having a life insurance policy while collecting SSI . It is actually a really good idea to have a policy , as it can cover your final expenses , burial costs , and leave a legacy behind for loved ones . There are sometimes issues with Medicaid , however . While they have no problem with you having a policy for your final expenses and burial , they do have an issue if you have a policy that has a great cash value . As you may know , Medicaid is designed for those folks who are severely economically disadvantaged , and they look for any large tangible assets that you can use to pay for your own medical expenses before expecting the taxpayers to pay for them . As a rule , a smaller final expense policy will fall under their threshold for assets , and after doing a little documentation , is no issue . If you do not have a policy , please look for an independent agent in your area who can help you work your way to finding the right policy for you . If you need help , please feel free to contact me , and I 'll help in any way that I can . Thank you for asking !
