Well, the income and asset rules for food stamp and Medicaid benefits for every state are on-line.

You can take it from there. Opinions don’t count. All that matters are investment amounts — one is either under or over the state’s limits and disclosed it or not.

Good luck to you in any case. Sounds like it might be an uphill battle.

I just looked for Medicaid. One gets 167% of federal poverty level and the other 133%. Then the FPL # for 2015 is 15,930 for 2 people. That's for 2015 only. By taking the percentage of each and adding them up it seems too high and might not be the way it's calculated.

I can do a cursory check on food stamps tomorrow. In any case, she had better be the one doing the asking, and she could be in a precarious situation with her total resources (couldn't find much using assets), not her monthly income; she's well beneath the federal poverty level on that.

I can't micromanage this part of her life. I only did it on the lawsuit, and I didn't mean to make it sound like I deserve all the credit because I don't. It's just like it all fell together, and I was able to see what was needed in the way of evidence and how to get what could be gotten, what questions to ask, etc.

She had been homeless before that.
