A client under guardianship of the Montezuma County Department of Social Services in Cortez, Colorado, who is mentally and physically disabled, resides in a retirement home with 24/7 supervision. The client is on Colorado Medicaid and collects private retirement, including health insurance and prescription medications from the University of California via PERA. The conservator believes PERA has the right to withhold Federal and State Withholding in California, which affects the client's ability to make full monthly payments at the assisted living facility. The State of Colorado says the client should be exempt from paying taxes in California and Colorado, and that Colorado Medicaid should not have to cover the shortage. What can the conservator or guardian do?
