Will Hosting A Foster Child Affect My SSDI Or Medicare Eligibility?

I currently collect SSDI. We have a foster child age 18 coming to live with us. Will this affect my SSDI? Or medicare eligibility? Thanks! ?

Hi. No, hosting a foster child won't have any effect on your Social Security disability (SSDI) or Medicare benefits.

Best, Jerry
