A medicaid recipient cannot have more than $2,000 in "resources." Resources do NOT include a house in which the recipient lives.\n\nhttp://www.ssa.gov/notices/supplemental-security-income/text-resources-ussi.htm

If they each have a social security number, are legal residents, earn less than the IRS limit for non-family member dependency, and you paid at least half of their living expenses.  In other words....NO!!!!

They will go back 3 years because of so many people getting rid of their homes and savings to be able to get Medicaid.  If she transferred the home and all the 'stuff' to you less than 3 years ago, you stand to lose everything.\n\nTo get Medicaid you can have a house, a car and $2000 in the bank and nothing more outside of social security income.

I am a Medical worker and know this much.  It would not be considered income, but could possibly be considered property.  There is a 2000.00 property limit, but you could invest her income in an annuity or something like that and that would be considered property.  You could also use the money to pay off old debts, purchase a home, car, etc....just save the receipts.  There is a time she has to spend down the money.  If it is just Medicare she is on and not Medicaid, there may be no property limit, and she may be fine.  I would contact the social security office and ask or check out the website.  Also, alot of people dont know, if she is below the 2000.00 property limit, Medicaid or Medical will pay her "buy in" premium for Medicare, thus meaning she would be taking home the 88.50 that she spends for Medicare.  All kinda confusing, but worth it.  Good luck.

Unfortunately, the simple answer is yes.  You need to go to your mortgage holder and advise them of the situation.  Your spouse DOES NOT have the legal right to take out loans in both your names.  Good luck!

Usually a person keeps the disability income (if it is Social Security) because being married does not affect whether or not you are disabled.  Other programs, such as Food Stamps, help with Medicare premiums and medication may be affected due to the increas in income in the household.  Check www.SocialSecurity.com for details.

IF the house is in BOTH of your names, he can try and do whatever he likes but legally he will get in trouble by the courts by keeping you out of your home, that is if you want to be there. If the house is in your name too, go for the house if you can afford it, or ask for the equity in the house.

You're married...so there shouldn't be a distinction between the two of you. If she helps you buy a house, you're helping yourself. If you're still having "your stuff" "her stuff", get counseling before buying a home. You should have gotten counseling before getting married, for that matter.

If you have lousy credit, the lender will probably not let you take over the mortgage.   Your avatar is a female but you have a wife.  This is confusing.

No she can't, if the property is her residence. The 1031 is limited to business and investment property.  But if she lived in the house 2 of the last 5 years, there is another Internal Revenue Code provision that shelters much or all of her capital gain, I believe it is 250K for a single person, 500K for a couple.

If your family income is less than 200% of the federal poverty level (fpl), they qualify for medicaid.  They would be covered under schip (requires a monthly co-premium) up to 250% of the FPL.\n\nI assume you are already using DSHS Support Enforcement to collect on the child support?\n\nI see at least three options:\na) Reapply to DSHS if your income meets the requirements (<250% of fpl);\nb) Have your husband adopt the children;\nc) Purchase a policy for the children or pay out of pocket for the vist.  And the rash probably deserves a visit asap.

No.  This is covered by state law so it varies, but the spouse generally gets everything in the absence of a will - especially community property.  If there is no spouse, then the next of kin would get it.\n\nIf it's not too late already and you have substantial assets, consider getting a living trust.  You can avoid probate which can cost you 15% of the estate!

Possibly only one of you could get the loan, although both would sign the mortgage.  My wife had no credit history when we bought, so I took the loan and both of us took the mortgage.\n\nIn some states and under some circumstances, the bank might demand both of you to qualify.

no sorry i haven't and i lived in pa my whole life. sounds rough though and another good reason not to risk your home to finance something else, sorry i hope it works out for you. hopefully your spouse will have the descency to realize loan or not the home is yours and they shouldn't mess with it.

NO! YOU CAN'T .THE HOUSE HAS BEEN COUNTED AS PROPERTY THAT BELONGS TO BOOTH OF YOU (RIGHT!)THEN IF YOU SELL THE HOUSE YOU HAVE TO GIVE HALF OF THAT MONEY TO YOUR  EX HUSBAND AND YOU WILL GET STUCK WITH ANY MONEY YOU SPENT TO SELL THE HOUSE. SORRY!

I say the money is yours and your husband's to do with what you wish.  If the house and payments are in his name, he is accepting the full risk in the case of default on the house.  Basically, your mother-in-law could stop paying and you would have no recourse.  I say that this added "risk" to you and your husband is due back to you in the form of a higher return.  Legally, your mother-in-law has no claim to that refund.  But if you both decide that she is entitled to some of the money, then that's great.
