§ 4-1.1 Descent and distribution of a decedent's estate The property of a decedent not disposed of by will shall be distributed as provided in this section. In computing said distribution, debts, administration expenses and reasonable funeral expenses shall be deducted but all estate taxes shall be disregarded, except that nothing contained herein relieves a distributee from contributing to all such taxes the amounts apportioned against him or her under 2-1.8. Distribution shall then be as follows: (a) If a decedent is survived by: (1) A spouse and issue, fifty thousand dollars and one-half of the residue to the spouse, and the balance thereof to the issue by representation. (2) A spouse and no issue, the whole to the spouse. (3) Issue and no spouse, the whole to the issue, by representation. (如果子辈先于死者死，孙辈可以越位继承。) (4) One or both parents, and no spouse and no issue, the whole to the surviving parent or parents. (5) Issue of parents, and no spouse, issue or parent, the whole to the issue of the parents, by representation. (如果侄子辈先于死者死，侄孙辈可以越位继承)
The majority of public housing is provided to people with incomes of 30 percent of the Area Median Income or less. A one-time payment from an inheritance is not counted as income. An inheritance does not count toward annual income in qualifying for HUD housing benefits.
The person disclaiming the inheritance does not get to choose who takes his share. He'll have to ask a local lawyer who the next in line heir would be, could be his children, or his siblings.
纽约州：无遗嘱情况。如果从未结过婚的，也无子女这种情况，兄弟姐妹已经过世的是不是就继承不了了？
如果兄弟姐妹都过世了咋办？多谢了
"If the Decedent has no family at all, then the property will go to New York State."

You need to keep reading. The answer is all there.
读过了，但是没搞懂：无配偶子女情况下：no family at all的定义是父母，兄弟姐妹都不在世了，兄弟姐妹的子女不算是吗？谢谢啦

§ 4-1.1 Descent and distribution of a decedent's estate
The property of a decedent not disposed of by will shall be
distributed as provided in this section. In computing said distribution,
debts, administration expenses and reasonable funeral expenses shall be
deducted but all estate taxes shall be disregarded, except that nothing
contained herein relieves a distributee from contributing to all such
taxes the amounts apportioned against him or her under 2-1.8.
Distribution shall then be as follows:
(a) If a decedent is survived by:
(1) A spouse and issue, fifty thousand dollars and one-half of the
residue to the spouse, and the balance thereof to the issue by
representation.
(2) A spouse and no issue, the whole to the spouse.
(3) Issue and no spouse, the whole to the issue, by representation. (如果子辈先于死者死，孙辈可以越位继承。)
(4) One or both parents, and no spouse and no issue, the whole to the
surviving parent or parents.
(5) Issue of parents, and no spouse, issue or parent, the whole to the
issue of the parents, by representation. (如果侄子辈先于死者死，侄孙辈可以越位继承)
"by representation" = 越位继承
US estate law does not apply to oversea properties.
The local law applies to those properties.
比如：爷爷奶奶死了, 儿子辈有四个兄弟，一个兄弟先于爷爷奶奶去世，他有两个孩子。
这两个孩子可以代位继承他们爸爸的那1／4分，所以每个孩子可以拿到1／8。
Maybe you were asking about medicaid, not medicare. Medicaid is for poor people, medicare is for old people.
In general Medicare are not dependent on income or saving. However, having extra savings would affect medicaid, including inheritance.
However, one time inheritance are not counted as income, so there is no impact for one's section 8 housing benefit.
Does inheritance affect HUD housing?
The majority of public housing is provided to people with incomes of 30 percent of the Area Median Income or less. A one-time payment from an inheritance is not counted as income. An inheritance does not count toward annual income in qualifying for HUD housing benefits.
https://www.seniorcare2share.com/how-does-inheritance-affect-subsidized-housing-for-senior-citizens/
Medicare is for old people. Medicaid is for poor people. Medicare is based on work contribution, medicaid is based on income/asset needs.
Inheritance doesn't affect medicare, but it might make someone inelligible for medicaid

有很多institution专门为不能自主的人服务（中国也有）。生活条件比政府房要好不知多少倍。至于他的钱如何管理，该请律师请律师，该找理财人员找理财人员。
没钱的时候听别人说损失不大，有了巨款，不找专业人士，到网上来听说，整个一个因小失大。
