With a check . Expenses are between $1000 - 1500 a month. I kept the receipts and bank statements .After reading about medicaid look back will these receipts and statements be sufficient to show the checks were not gifts? Is their a better way of doing this,maybe becoming an authorized user on one of their credit cards.
If there is a large bill where I need to pay from my own checking account [for whatever reason] and my parents would later reimburse me, I would take that bill and make a copy of it with my check.... and then again with my parent's reimbursement.
I don't know the official answer but my suggestion is to keep the finances clean and separate. I have seen the term "co-mingling of funds" and apparently it is to be avoided.
