Head of Household and Medicaid

[jamadad]

I am a senior single tax filer. This year my son, 20, my granddaughter (<1), and her mother all moved in with me. The mother and granddaughter have been I Virginia Medicaid. I pay for all household expenses, including food, clothing, out of pocket medical, etc.

Per IRS I am eligible to file my federal taxes as head of household because I provide all financial support for my granddaughter.

If I file as head of household does that interfere or stop my granddaughter's eligibility for Virginia Medicaid? My income is too high for Medicaid eligibility for myself.

Possibly. Check with Medicaid in your area.
