[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 41566, member: 1514"] Dreamer, your dtr should get medicaid if she is found to be eligible for SSI or did they change her from SSI to SSDI when she turned 18? Even if they did, she should qualify for medicaid if her income is less than the medicaid income...I think...pretty sure...but its been a few years. The food stamp thing is a different program and that states that anyone under 22 years old and living in the home of their parents has to use parental income in computing the food stamp benefit. This is basically because a ton of people were having kids and living with mom and dad who had really good jobs and could afford to support their kids but wanted to shove it off on the government. Not fair to the folks who really cant afford it but thats the system. It also stopped this scenario: Momma number 1 has 3 kids and gets $400 in food stamps. She has a dtr who becomes Momma number 2 at 18. Next kid becomes momma number 3 the year after at age 18. In the old days, you would have Momma number one now getting approximately $250 in food stamps plus $236 in a welfare benefit. Then you would have Mommas number 2 and 3 getting the same thing. Which means you would have $750 in food stamps coming in instead of the original $400. Now of course you have to add in the two new babies but they would only add a new 100 bucks or so if that because you now have to count the new welfare money. In fact the stamps could go down because instead of having only $297 in welfare benefits that she originally got...now they get around 700. Its a big mess. [/QUOTE]
