Will my Mother lose Medicaid if I claim her as a dependent?

Let's get back to the original question-- can you claim her as a dependent? Yes, but the Medicaid application asks if you are claimed as a dependent. If you say "yes", this triggers the "household income" factor.
Most applicants list themselves as a tenant and itemize their share of the household expenses on the application and annual recertification.

If your father is on disability, then he should be receiving some sort of disability benefits and/or social security. If he is on Medicare and Medicaid, then he should not need additional insurance. If your father got more than $4,000 in 2015 in disability benefits or social security, you cannot claim him as a dependent. Same thing goes for your mother.

I have never heard of a Medicare Advantage plan costing $600. If your mother is over 65, she will get Medicare. She will get Medicaid if she falls below the poverty level.

If either of your parents worked and paid into social security, they should get a monthly social security payment. You have to pay into social security to receive it. Same thing goes for Medicare----you had to have worked and paid into Medicare for 40 quarters to be eligible to receive it. It sounds like your father did work for the required amount of time & contributed into the Medicare program if he is receiving it. Did you mother do the same? If she didn't, how did they live before? What did she do for health insurance? Has she lived in the U.S. for at least 5 years before becoming a citizen?

Not that I know of. I recall a time and my early adult life when I used to live in a group home for a while and I was on Medicaid. I didn't lose my Medicaid. I was most likely declared a dependent for a time as I was transitioning from having been award of the state for a number of years after my rescue from abusive parents. For a long time I was a dependent under the state care, but I eventually got out on my own and still retained Medicaid

Army retired: As long as the wife is a permanent resident, she can collect on her husband's Medicare benefits at age 65. That's the law.

Jessica,

You can call the Department of Social Services and Human Services in your area to ask that question. The is the possibility that things may have changed in the last few years. All you need to do is tell them what you need to know. You don't have to give anymore than your first name. Someone will help you.

This Question of Mother - New Citizen who may lose Medicaid if claimed as US Citizen as an IRS Dependent is really sticky.., The Answer may have to come from an Accountant. Be Careful.., You might get an IRS suit if you don't seek professional opinion. Here's the difficulty.., To Claim Mother you have to provide over 51% of her care.., That amount is constituted from Financial Factors, such as how expensive is it where she lives.., If she lives with you in a $200,000 home then her "fair share cost of living is determined by all expenses."
Now that we have established Living Expenses.., the MedicAid Guidelines may include that in her budget as "GIFT INCOME" and Disqualify her..,
FINAL ADVICE - Seek Professional Help before IRS and Welfare Fraud come knocking at Door !
