By skyforbes Does anyone know if family caregiving for a disabled adult (age 41) might be a qualifying activity/exemption that counts as volunteer work to get around the upcoming Medicaid work requirement? I have read all that I can find. Most volunteer work listed is for a nonprofit organization. And most family caregiving listed is for young children. So I would like to know if anyone has any idea if this exemption may be an option when the requirement sets in, whenever that may be.
Notes: I am the disabled adult. Living in IL. My brother is my caregiver and does not make any direct income. I personally do not qualify for any government insurance. I am under my husband's insurance. We help my brother out as needed with his rent and expenses. This is a new setup for all of us. I do not know when my brother will lose his ACA insurance after having had to suddenly leave behind his previous employment to care for me.
EDIT: Any guidance on how to find a social worker that helps with these issues?
