Find a good attorney in your area. Do some research.

On 7/8 the OP posts in Mom to Mom that they have no room to take in her DH's step son. No word on where child's mom is.

Now, 3 weeks later they must take in her newlywed DH's brother.

Man is widowed but has never applied for any benefits as a surviving spouse?

Thanks so much for all your replies. I really appreciate them

@Tissyanne Do you have experience with allsup? I'm going to consider looking them up and giving them a call today.

as far as going directly to SS, i thought of thst but I don't want to go there in person. I prefer someone to do all the ground work. BIL is very very weak. I don't believe he could go to a SS appointment and he sitting there for God knows how long. he can do it. So I'll look into Allsup today.

To the two ladies who noted my post in mom to mom. Like really??

I was aware thst Medicare doesn't start for 24 months afterwards. BIL has cobra but it's very expensive. I'll look into AHC and see what I can find.

If anyone else has any other agency suggestions, I'd appreciate you sharing. I'll start with allsup and go from there.

thanks so much for your responses.

@DJs mom yep, child is 34 and asked to live with step dad. No word as to why his Mom could not take her child in.

As for Medicaid, upcoming changes will require many people to work to get their benefits.

@Ditzydori I replied to a poster re your post in Mom to Mom. I was just saying to the poster that your DH stepson wasn't a child, he is 34. It was not a post to be snarky. If you took it that way, I apologize.

@Snowpuppy Maybe gettimg a life would work for you. Have a blessed day.

@Ditzydori , Hello. I don't have personal experience, but I worked with someone who had Allsup to assist in getting their husband on SSDI. They were helpful, and very professional according to all she said. They did get him approved, and then he was on Medicare 24 months later.

My best to your BIL, and all of you that are assisting him.

This is very good info. Thanks ladies. I think I know what to do now. Allsup for SSDI and look into Medicaid and the marketplace. I searched on line and located the websites. Thanks a million.
