VA: Just got notice that they’re not renewing Medicaid for my preemie daughter.

I just got notice that Virginia is not renewing my daughter's Medicaid effective at the end of the month. She was born April 2024 at 24 weeks and needs a feeding tube in order to eat her full meals, plus lots of medical supplies each month. They are now saying my wife and I are above the income to qualify but I'm not sure how we qualified last year then because our income hasn't changed.

I don't quite understand the rules for Medicaid, all the doctors on her team have said up until now that she will be on Medicaid until she doesn't have the feeding tube anymore. She requires in home nurse care because she can't go to a regular daycare.

I applied for renewal in the spring and heard absolutely nothing from them until now.

They said I can appeal but does anyone have insight on that process and what to expect? I'm incredibly worried about this because we don't have the means to take care of her on our own with her condition.
