Mom who is very disabled (stroke, can’t do tasks on her own, heart conditions, diabetic..) is applying for Medicaid here in WA.
It’s asking for all household members and income of household members even if we’re not applying for coverage. My mother’s is very straight forward and has not a single cent to her name or anything she owns except for social security every month that she’s been living on, that’s it. She moved in with us temporarily last month while we get her on Medicaid and into an assisted living home or signed up for in home care. She pays for her things mostly and buys the things she needs/wants.
My husband is the bread winner and the one working in our household, making over 200k before taxes. His income won’t matter though, correct? That won’t affect her approval?
Edit to add: looks like his income is only counted if she claims him on a tax return or something? Which obviously isn’t the case so I think we’re good? She doesn’t even file taxes she hasn’t worked in ages.
Thank you in advance!
