    Mostly it depends on the state you live in because it can vary slightly by location. If the inheritance is a large one you may be required to pay full rent rather then a supplement for awhile or may be out of the program completely. Mostly its going to depend on how your " income " is counted.

    You file a new financial statement and they advise you if you are still eligible. If you DON'T advise them and your financial picture changes, you can be responsible for every benefit you received following the changed finances.

    No you don't repay ( unless you were receiving it after you got the inheritance) but once you have money you had to report it, thus you may not get food stamps or section 8 and the such, and merely have to pay the full costs of your own items instead of government assistance.

    You have received advice - you HAVE to report the additional income BY LAW. In NYS when you obtain some benefits you DO sign that you will repay those monies if/when are you are able. You are not required to repay other monies.

    Either way, the Law requires you to report income and the Agency will advise you. Without a lot more detail it is impossible to answer your question.

    And, yes, I'm also in NY.

    When would I have written down that I have to pay back foodstamps and medicade for 30 years? Is that possible? Please explain.

    I've explained it - you report the income. The State decides what you have to pay back.

    I'm a taxpayer. Apparently I've been supporting you for a number of years. Now you have an inheritance and you want to keep it.

    You have some sense of entitlement.
