Kicked off for making too much monthly

Hello! I am a full time college student and a part time worker. I make less than $800 a month and I estimate making around $10,000 for the year. Over the summer I was working full time and making around $2,000 a month for June and July. I got a letter that was sent on September 3rd saying I made too much to receive Medicaid benefits and I would need to make an appeal to get my benefits back. I had until the 21st to submit my appeal. I wasn’t home and didn’t read the letter until the 19th but sent it out on the 20th. I got the post office stamp saying the date it was sent out so I assume all is okay on that end.

It has now been a month and I haven’t heard anything. I ended up reapplying a couple days ago because I didn’t know what else to do. I have adhd and have to go the doctor every 3 months. I take Vyvanse and clonidine which I need to take almost everyday. I have been taking it when necessary but I am a full time student who relies on my medication to help me. I have been dealing with a lot of side effects and withdraws from not taking my medication and I don’t know how much longer I can go without it.

Now with the government shut down I’m wondering if that’s why I’m affected by having no progress made on my appeal but I’ve heard from others they’ve had the some issues before the shut down.

Is there any suggestions on what I should/can do? I have an appointment in the beginning of November and I do not have the finances to afford my appointments or medications.

On a separate note I hate what this country has become and I’m tired of this administration punishing the poor and needy.
