List everyone who lives in your household:

• Age and relationship of each member
• Indicate if anyone is:
• Pregnant
• Disabled
• Elderly (65+)
• Undocumented or a recent immigrant

Example:

“We are a household of 4: a 70-year-old U.S. citizen with Alzheimer’s, a 36-year-old undocumented adult, and two U.S. citizen children aged 4 and 9.”

Provide:

• Total monthly (or annual) income
• Source of income (e.g., job, benefits)
• Number of work hours
• Mention if income varies or is paid in cash

Example:

“I work part-time earning $900/month. My hours vary weekly.”

Mention anything of value you own:

• Cash
• Bank accounts (checking/savings)
• Property

Example:

“We have $1,000 in a checking account and no other assets.”

Does anyone have:

• Medicare
• Medicaid
• Employer-provided insurance
• Or no insurance?

If you're unsure, say so.

Example:

“Not sure if we currently have Medicaid.”

Mention if your household has:

• Previously received SNAP, Medicaid, WIC, or others
• Been recently denied or is applying for the first time

Example:

“We used to get SNAP but were denied during our last recertification.”

Include if someone is:

• Recently incarcerated
• Aged out of foster care
• Homeless or in unstable housing
• Living with chronic illness or functional limitations

Always include:

• Pregnancy status
• Exact age for anyone under 21
• Immigration status
• Student work/study info

Example:

“One household member was recently incarcerated and is now unemployed.”

• Always include pregnancy status and exact age if the user is under 21.
• State if someone is undocumented or recently immigrated — this changes access to adult programs.
• For students, specify work hours and if enrolled in a work-study program to help SNAP logic.
• For low-income elders, be sure to mention Medicare enrollment so Liife can apply QMB/SLMB logic accurately.
• The AI performed consistently with Medicare logic once credits were clarified. It handled SNAP and TennCare eligibility well, especially for children.
• Eligibility for TANF appears conservative, even when household income is significantly reduced.
• The AI has a tendency to approve Medicare Savings Programs (like QMB) even before Part A eligibility is fully established — careful attention to Medicare context is required. CHIP and CoverKids continue to be denied, even when not clearly overridden by Medicaid approvals — which may cause confusion in reporting or interpretation.
