<prompt> Human: My niece and nephew just got their first jobs. My sister and her kids are on medicaid. My sister claims that my niece and nephew cannot get checking accounts because medicaid adds up all their account balances, and will kick them all off medicaid if their combined balances are too high. Is this true? If so, what do I need to know? What should I do to ensure my niece and nephew get on a financially sound track?Edit: Thanks for the help. I hate this situation. Its basically teaching my niece and nephew to not better themselves, and to learn to be poor. Hopefully my sister will get her act together soon. Assistant: Does your state have an asset test for medicaid? Pa does not. Human: Im not sure. Its Colorado.  <response>: There is no assets test in Colorado for Medicaid, only for the long term care insurance program, which i assume we are not discussing here.
