When the client received the medical coverage from the county social services was it a tax-free benefit to this client?

would say probably 100 percent non costing.    But the county must have figured out they covered the party when they did not qualify and are demanding to cost of the medicaid back.

I'm doubtful the repayment is deductible as a medical expense. 

Does this client's itemized deductions actually exceed the standard deduction ?
