Is living with you, she may qualify for food stamps. I think if she has no income, and since the government considers 26 as being the age that adulthood has been achieved, she may qualify for County Medical. Under Obama every county in the USA (I believe) has been put into emergency status re: food stamps, so I don't think the government eve demands you look for work.)

You may end up having to help her pay her medications and doctor visits until some detrrmined amount is reached. I just helped a friend apply for food stamps and County medical, and after she spends $ 800 in a single month the county medical program steps in.

Although this is not ideal, it does mean that if she faces a calamity, like breaking an ankle ($ 13,000 right there sometimes!) she won't have to pay out of pocket reimbursements monies each month FOREVER
