[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I know for a fact that some legal immigrants with little to no income qualify for Medicaid. But again, since states are involved in Medicaid I am not certain that will be the case where you are.[/quote] Technically, family immigration requires an affidavit of support that is supposed to deter new immigrants from applying for federal benefits. States, counties, and cities often have their own plans for people without income regardless of their immigration status. Research those in your area. There is also emergency Medicaid you MIL can be eligible for, but I'm not sure how it works and whether it applies to chronic conditions. From what I understand, ACA plans are available, but your MIL won't be eligible to subsidies (i.e. federal benefit). That being said, I hear conflicting stories about eligibilities all the time, so you won't know until you actually start looking. Good luck! I know it's a tough one.[/quote]
