Best Answer

If you reside in a state that recognizes same-gender marriage or civil unions the answer is yes, it would. Your spouse's income would count as "household" income and could have an effect on your eligibility

On the other hand, if you reside in a state that does not legally recognize your marriage or union, it would not.

If you and your same-sex spouse regularly eat meals together and you live together, then he is treated as a miscellaneous household member and his income is counted towards your eligibility. If your same-sex spouse does not live with you, then he could be a millionaire and you could still get food stamps, since the United States Department of Agriculture which administers the SNAP (food stamp) program does not consider him to be your spouse or responsible for feeding you.

Medicaid is a needs-based program, and the amount of income a person receives can affect their eligibility for the program. However, the specific rules and regulations regarding how SSDI is counted and how it affects Medicaid eligibility can vary, so it is best to check with the Montana Medicaid program for the most up-to-date and accurate information.

Is the income of your same-sex spouse counted towards eligibility for federal tuition assistance?

No. Your same-sex spouse could be a millionaire and still none of his income will prevent you from getting federal tuition assistance, since the agencies issuing such assistance consider your husband to be a stranger to you. This makes it easier for same married gay people to obtain assistance.The relevant law is the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act("DOMA") which prohibits federal recognition of some marriages. Eligibilty for Stafford Loans and Pell Grants is based upon individual income, spousal income and (until a certain age) parental income. If you have no legal spouse for purposes of federal law, then his income is not included when calculating eligibility, regardless of whether he lives with you.
