Hello,
I am in Colorado and am likely going to be getting surgery in October. My Medicaid just went through renewal and won't need to again until December or when my jobs change. Currently, I am a graduate student so that is something that helps me maintain my coverage without having to work a ton which will be better for my surgery recovery. I am set to graduate in early August but can push it back to December if I want. My current employment (2 part time student roles) are set to end at the beginning of Aug and Oct so that will need to be reported and I think would cause an issue with meeting the Medicaid work requirements especially if I don't keep my student status. If I push back my graduation and take a class in the fall I will have access to more student employment options which are flexible with my recovery and then there is the fact that I overall will have the student status. Does anyone have any advice? I just think the timing of everything is freaking me out and this surgery is very medically necessary so I don't want anything to happen that could jeopardize it or my recovery. I appreciate the help and understanding!
