What is the Legal Definition of an Apartment in Illinois
My question involves real estate located in the State of: Illinois
My mother and father own a home. Both of them are married. There are three floors and an attic: Basement, first floor, and second floor. My father lives on the first floor. My mother lives on the second floor. Currently, I'm the only child living there. I'm currently unemployed, so I've applied for Illinois Link and Medicaid as a means of support until I find employment. My sister was living in the residence on the first floor, but moved out with her child to an apartment in Wisconsin. She has not lived in the Illinois residence for over 90 days: She has not spent the night here in over 90 days nor has her child.
I recently got into an argument with my mother, whereby I consider that I was denigrated by my mother for having told the Department of Human Services case worker that my sister did not live at the residence, as my mother argues that my sister may lose her medicaid benefits. She works full-time for Wal*greens doing some kind of paperwork, so I do not believe she needs Illinois medicaid and can get health benefits from her work. My sister lived on the first floor with my father. I have lived on the second floor with my mother. However, I do not believe that either floor constitutes an apartment. As such, I had told the Illinois Department of Human Services that I lived at a home. Either way, I am not in support of welfare fraud: I believe that I was denigrated by my mother for not defrauding the DHS caseworker in relation to my sister's living status at the residence.

You realize that you're basically the Tim Tebow of the legal world, right?
Go read this. You might find something. http://www.illinoislegaladvocate.org...contentID=8326
That's if you can't be bothered to pick up the phone and, y'know, actually ask the people who can answer you specifically. :cool:
Expect to find yourself considered "persona non grata", and needing a new home in the very near future. When we're at the mercy of someone in power, it's generally not a good idea to poke them with a stick.
