I live in Indiana, and I know they keep child support to pay back TANF (welfare) In some instances Medicaid as well. Every state might be different. In my state regardless of how much child support a person gets they only receive the first $50 if they get a welfare check and the rest goes to the state. They wont take it for food stamps.
Food stamps, no. Medicaid - the State will pursue the other parent for insurance coverage.
You must apply in the state where you live, and be approved.
If your income exceeds the Medicaid standard in your State, you will have to "spend down" the excess to qualify for Medicaid.
To receive Medicaid, one must be a resident of the State which is providing that assistance. I believe that one may still receive Medicare even if living outside the U.S.
There is no automatic transfer of eligibility from one state to another. You cannot receive Medicaid in more than one state at the same time; so, you will need to terminate your Medicaid coverage in NJ. Get a letter from your NJ Medicaid office to that effect that you can give to the FL Medicaid office when you apply there.
Medicaid is administered by the States. In general, to receive Medicaid you must be a resident of the State from which you seek benefits. Absences are sometimes permitted depending on the reason and length of the absence.
This should not be a problem, but States' performance varies widely in this area.
Not legally. The state takes over the claim.
Income levels vary from state to state, especially for families. Contact your state's Medicaid agency.
Medicaid is insurance through the state. Medicaid is taken care of during the time of need and cut off when not in need. Medicaid does not receive a pay back if inheritance is received. Other assistance programs, however, may require some sort of pay back.
