NJMedicaid for adult son and tax dependent in IRS
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica}
My son, 35 years old has NJFamilyCare Medicaid since he has no income. Till 2016, I was declaring him as my dependent on IRS tax return since he lives with us. Can I continue claiming him as a dependent in 2017 without impacting his Medicaid eligibility? As I understand from someone, NJFamilyCare has changed regulation and if adult son is declared as a dependent in IRS, then my income has to be considered for his eligibility. If that is the case, I will rather let him file as an independent IRS tax return instead of claiming him as a dependent. My income is more than 138% than FPL.
