Absolutely not, if they are in a nursing home, apply for the special nursing home medicaid.  They will take their social security and leave them $75 a month each, so you just supplement their needs.  We have been through this.  No, you do not foot the bill.[/quote]

You won't get stuck footing the bill for your MIL and FIL IF you ensure they apply for Medicaid. If they somehow mess up on the Medicaid process due to the strict parental fillial laws there is a possibility you will get stuck with the bill. The nursing home will go for whoever they think they can get the money from. It is your responsibility that they don't mess up the paperwork or the onus is on you.[/quote]
NOT TRUE!
1) it is not a given that the nursing home will come after you due to filial support laws

2) Applying for Medicaid is not a guarantee that it will be awarded -- even if your parent is dead broke

3) DO NOT EVER PUT YOUR NAME ON ANYTHING -- EVER![/quote]
