Can I apply as a single household if I have family unable/unwilling to report their income?
I'm 22m, and I live in Florida, and I've been dealing with untreated Inattentive ADHD, Trauma, and Anxiety. I believe I also have depression lately as well, although I'm not sure about that one though.
It has made work near impossible for me, and I haven't had an actual job in over a year due to how terrible my last job was to me and I haven't been able to convince myself that it won't go completely terrible no matter what kind of paying job I get. I also have a fear of driving, even when I'm driving okay I could have an anxiety attack.
My family hasn't been much help, in fact, they've been more of an obstacle. Although, I have shelter and food without having to pay them, they're ironically not bothered by me being unemployed and basically still dependent. Too much to the point where I am just expected to figure out all my healthcare and life stuff on my own.
My Dad isn't really doing great himself. But he is also trying to apply for Medicaid lately, but the issue being that he is doing it for himself, and he will claim he is making no income, despite the fact he is making money in cash. I'd ask him to include me, but I don't want to be involved in case he gets in trouble. But I can't include him in mine either, because he gets defensive or claims that he can't use that money for it.
It's exhausting, and I'd rather not try and work anything out with him about this. All I need to know is if I can claim I am a house of 1, despite us living together. I chose to remove him from the application, zero acknowledgement of him. I am also not a dependent, legally speaking since my dad didn't file taxes for this year.
Any help is appreciated!
