Liz Weston: Is it legal for a high-wealth, but low-income, household to apply for public assistance?

To Liz, please:I am currently unemployed and putting my job search on hold. My adjusted gross income is low (mainly capital gains from incremental asset sales), but I have a sizable amount of savings in a diversified portfolio that would last for many years if necessary.

Although I’m hesitant to apply, I believe I am eligible for low-income assistance programs for healthcare subsidies and electricity costs.
