By skyforbes HI. NY state of health website is not good. My husband and I just got married. He has a job, $25k a year. We knew after getting married we would have to update medicaid and snap and stuff. I've been unemployed for two years, can't find a job.
We're both on medicaid
i'm on snap
We tried updating insurance on his medicaid to say we got married, and we tried adding me to his plan, but it says i'm not eligible because I have a plan already. I updated mine and made sure to say I got married as well.
Are we supposed to keep our individual plans? Do we wait for the open enrollment season?
We're also trying to change his last name to mine, but we are waiting 30 days so we can do it online, because the Social Security building is about an hour away from us, and he's always busy at work. Nobody in my family has much experience with getting married, so I'm not sure what to do.
TIA
