[QUOTE="OTE, post: 5190"] Sure he'll qualify, the trust will pay those bills, not you! You put the money in the trust and the trust pays the bills. Do something like put your tax refund in there to start it and pay the first bills. Then put what you would have paid the bills with in the trust and get him on SSI and Medicaid so there's actually no bills anyway! The housing and food when he lives with you is not treated the way it is when he lives alone as does Fran's son. It doesn't count against him but he gets a much lower amt because he's not responsible for his own living expenses. But then, cash wasn't the reason for applying! Do read through the SSI general info on ssa.gov. There also a quick questionnaire online to figure out if someone qualifies. [/QUOTE]
