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

Same as my mom. Glad that my brother is her financial poa. This will help her for when the LTC policy runs out.

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.

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

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

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.

Yes, my mom is in long term care on Medicaid and $1200 just showed up in her bank account. I have no idea what we're supposed to do with it.

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

That makes sense but what about putting them over the asset/cash limit? Seems like it could easily do that for some or is it just seen as being that separate? Could it be gifted without penalty?

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.

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.
