NIK2RS. You remind me of my oldest brother. I moved in with my mother and put a hold on my job for nearly a year. He like you thought I did not need any income. Well let me tell you, I got in all kinds of financial problems, could not pay any bills. So why does a caregiver need money? Apparantly you are rich.
Sarahjune: Why are you being paid for the care of your own father? Do you not take the legal subtraction of dependency ? ( both federal and state)? What are you doing with this money that you take from him? Are you reporting it as income on your own tax return?
Probably. I'd see an estate attorney about this - one who knows Medicaid well. Also, have any payment agreement drawn up legally. That might help. Still, you should have the help of an attorney who knows Medicaid laws - and your state laws. Carol
