Reply #48: Medicaid often covers not only [View All]

[Ms. Toad]

pregnant women and infants, but children at least to age 12 on special income based programs (i.e. they don't take into account assets).

Father's income (whether or not married) counts toward whether the child can be covered. Can't take granddad's assets into account since he isn't legally obligated to support grand baby - but gifts to the parents - if legally married - or at least the mother - if not - should be reported as "income" during the reporting period in which they came in.
