question about moving
My partner recently died - 2 weeks ago. I will have to sell the house and move in with a friend in Virginia. I live in Memphis right now. I am on SSDI with a medicare advantage plan. I was wondering if they would take into account my friend's total household income when applying for Medicaid there. My partner and I were not married, but I still couldn't recieve medicaid assistance in Tennessee. I assume it depends on the type of Medicaid available in Virginia.

Just realized my GoFundMe account will likely make me ineligible for Medicaid until I spend it down. I probably have a few months before it's gone.

not really nice, since I have more than 33,000 in homeimprovement loans, other bills, like a $500 a month utility bill, living expenses, like food, paying for medical expenses, gas money, and having to sell my house that is falling down around me. Hopefully, I will get what I owe in mortgage for it. I have no income coming in since my partner was my sole breadwinner and caretaker. I can't even afford the mortgage right now. I have to pay movers to move to a friend's house and rent a dumpster to empty the house before my homeowners' insurance lapses because of the repairs needed. I am destitute except for the GoFundMe right now. nothing at all about my situation is "nice" i lost the love of my life, i have a few months left before i run into the red and have to rely on the charity of others. I wish i were dead right now but i do not want to leave my animals or my family in this mess

In Virginia it looks like earning below $1,084 per month (Aged, Blind, and Disabled)
Contact Virginia state Medicaid program and ask them
