By skyforbes For someone on SSDI (not SSI), is in-kind support counted when calculating income for AABD Medicaid? This is for Illinois.
I found a manual on DHS Illinois website, which states:
"Income in kind is exempt when determining eligibility and benefit amount. Income in kind is a benefit paid in behalf of a person, but is not paid directly to them. Income in kind is also a benefit received in a form other than money (i.e., food, clothes, etc.)."
The pathway I clicked through as shown below:
