By skyforbes I’m a single adult under 65 with no disabilities, no children, not pregnant and no disabled people in my household. I’ve been on Medicaid since the pandemic after I lost my job and aged off my parents’ insurance.
I currently work very limited part-time hours, but am still within income eligibility requirements.
I take multiple medications for chronic conditions that I could not afford without insurance.
However, I’m looking into getting a different part-time job closer to home. This job would increase my hours, putting me above the income limits. My job will not offer me health insurance benefits unless I’m full-time.
How long after I start this new job will I lose my Medicaid benefits? Will it be instant or will it only matter based on my annual income reported on my taxes?
I’m worried Covered California won’t offer me plans unless I’m well above the poverty line, not just $1,000 too much for Medicaid.
Even if I started working the new job next week, I would still be well below income limits for the rest of 2025.
