Yes, you are sonsider a minor in the Courts eyes and assistance eyes until 24... She will only be able to get Medicaid for baby... good luck...
Here is some help:
WIC you can make a lot more and qualify. People on food stamps automatically qualify.
There is medicaid, in with the food stamps... that is free insurance for kids.
If you dont have insurance, try the hospitals around you and ask if they have discounted services or a sliding fee scale.
There is Section 8 which most of the time has a long waiting list... Try in house section 8. That is when apartments host there own section 8 and the waiting list may be weeks or months instead of years...
The phone companies over a service called lifeline... that is where you get your phone connected for free and get the tax taken off your phone bill... Call phone company for info...
There is also something called CCDF... that is free child care at licensed day cares as long as you work or are in school.
And try State colleges, most of them if you apply for pell grants make it to where you can go for free... actually get paid to go...
Some childrens musuems over discount programs
SOme YMCA over discounts on monthly membership... For my family we go for 20 a month.. and get 50% off sports...
At Christmas, lots of Churches will help with presents for children and food.
Some states have a phonenumber you can call to ask for referrals.. If there is a crisis pregnancy center by you, they should have a list of places that help.
There are lots out there you just have to research. When you go for your food stamps appointment ask where you can go for help.

No. She is not a dependant of yours since she is 23. She just might have to get a letter to your social service office that she buys and prepares her meals separate from you

What you do is write a letter for her to take to DHS saying that she is living with you but buys and prepares her food seperately. It works. Good luck!

Yes it will, so you might want to tell her to get a real job like the rest of us have one.

It matters what state you live in....I know in IL if she pays you to live at your home and you cook seperatly then it does not count against her.

no, make sure she files as she is living and eating seperatly from you. They may ask for your income, but if you are not contributing to her expenses, they can not count it

Yes, if she reports it. If she doesn't report it, however, if someone found out, it could be considered welfare fraud.

not if you buy and eat the food seperately and tell them so
