If you're living in an assisted living facility are you eligible to receive a stimulus check?

Correction: not "tax credit", I looked and saw the auto deposit is being identified as TAX RELIEF. Still, not income and will have no impact on qualifying for programs such as Medicaid.

My MIL is in a LTCF and on Medicaid and she received the TAX CREDIT (not "stimulus", not tax refund). It is NOT income and won't be counted as such. I just had an accountant explain it to me. Again, it is not income. And even though one did not file taxes it is considered a credit.

I replied to another post that the check is not considered income. So it should not effect Medicaid.

It depends also on whether someone claims you as an adult dependent on their tax return. If you don’t claim your own deduction, like some college students or seniors helped by family members, then you won’t qualify.

Yes. My mother just received one. Her income allowed that. She is in an AL facility and has a LTC policy paying for it.

I think everyone who files a tax return or is on SS does, I don’t think it has anything to do with where one lives. I’m not sure how Medicaid would treat it for a LT Care Medicaid patient but that’s a different situation and question, one I’m sure will come up eventually when everyone isn’t still in pandemic mode.

Generally yes. But if your income is over $99,000.00 a year no.

If over $75,000.00 the amount will be reduced.
