Medicaid Eligibility

The OP wants to move in to an apartment attached to the house that is worth $875 per month.

Why doesn't the OP actually move in to the same unit that the father is in so the father can continue to rent out the apartment in question?

that's pushing your opinion without knowing the full facts. would figure you would make a better statement then the one you are doing.
I presented clear facts and details, you are going witch hunting like a troll.
but then again you get what you pay for in this world, free advice sometimes retains the same value we pay for it.

I really disagree Zig.

He is not moving in for the free rent. He is moving in, in order to be a caregiver for his parent. I don't see any attempt to game the system or to take advantage of his father. It is not at all unusual for adult children to move in with a parent in order to provide caregiving, or to move a parent in with them in order to provide caregiving.

thank you for believing that no everyone in this world is evil and money hungry
i retained some of the culture my parents taught me, living with your parents in not looked down in the culture, taking care of them in their age of need is an honor and cherishing their golden years is a gift to the parents and those around them.

You're not moving in with your dad. You're moving in to an $875/mo apartment (for free) that happens to be attached to your dad's place.

Maybe he IS moving in with his dad. If he is, then his income will count towards dad's medicaid eligibility. I suspect that paying market rent will be more likely to allow dad to keep his medicaid compared with adding $75k to dad's household income though.

He said he'd like to move in to a separate unit that happens to be attached to dad's house. But yes, I agree that the rent money will be less of a hit to the eligibility than the $75k/year additional household income.
