[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 470022, member: 1514"] MWM...arent you on disability? SSDI? Not SSI? If you are on SSDI, Sonic will be able to collect benefits under your account too as a child disabled under the age of 22. Now he will probably get a smaller amount and also get SSI along with it which will leave him open to get Medicaid as well as Medicare. That is pretty much for the best. Medicaid will kick in for all the copays and pay his part b and d payments. He wont have a donut hole. Have no idea if he has enough medication to hit that but I do. I would be lost without medicaid to keep me out of the donut hole. As far as him paying rent, you can take your basic monthly expenses: rent, electric, cable, gas and any other fixed household expenses and divide them by the number of people living in the home. That would be his portion of rent. Cory's averaged out to $200- $250 at my house. Then he had his non-fixed expenses such as clothing, entertainment, food, car rides, cigarettes, anything else he wanted to do. [/QUOTE]
