I have other health issues also. I am in need of In Home Care. I am very low income and with no assets, I have a house, but with a mortage. I have a boyfriend who has lived here 6 years and would like to remain here. I am on foodstamps and get help with food by a church. Can I get Medicaid?

For example, can you walk unassisted?
Do you receive Social Security? (You paid into this program working during your lifetime?).
If you are retired, you already have Medicare at age 67?.
Have you been "disabled" by Social Security....an illness or condition expected to last your lifetime, or end in death? Was this at the time you were aged 60, or prior to retirement age of 65? (reason for asking...after 65 Soc. Sec. no longer calls you disabled.)
If you do have SS, and Medicare, persons with low income can also qualify for SSI.
It may be that you automatically qualify for "medicaid" if you qualify for SSI.
Sorry, I just do not have any information for persons on only SSI who do not qualify for Social Security.
Either way, if you do not understand a word I said, see a disability lawyer. imo.
