By skyforbes So on the renewal day last month, i tried to add my new self employment income (2 paycheck/ month) and also my tax return form last year $20k. But this year the monthly pay check already higher ( which I already include when I submit), I submitted june, July paychecks. I know I might not qualify for medicaid because the income this year might be >30k, i’m not 100% sure because my income change every month since i’m self employed. After I submitted all the paper work, i got the letter say i having transition medicaid ( full coverage) with income for household of 2 is $20k ( which is income last year) not this year? I expected i will lose medicaid since my income increased and i’m fine with that, ready to look on the market. I don’t know exactly why me and my baby still eligible. But i want to fix it before it too late.
I called the caseworker few day ago, telling them about income change, and he said he saw my submit paperwork, and he even saw that i tried to submit the second time already.
But he said they based on the income tax return last year that is why i got the recent letter said my income $21k. And I’m all good until next renewal day which is 9/2026. I still so worried I received the benefits that I should not have.
I plan to call and cancel the medicaid just for safe but do you think i should fixed and make everything clear and correct before the cancellation?
Plus, when i ask for my baby case. The case worker said he saw in the system is household for 3 ( me, my boyfriend and mybaby). And i said Can I add my boyfriend in the case because I never add him on when i applied. ( i did not know at first but when i know my bf has to be in the same case, i called and fixed right away!!!) and the case worker said he saw my boyfriend income in the system. But i said i thought with my income and my bf income, my 22months girl will not qualify. But he said my baby medicaid should be good for next year. “ you dont have to do anything else since your bf income already here in the system “. But let me explain why, last month on September, i got the call from a caseworker for interview for another program which is child care grogram, and I said my baby’s dad is live with us, then she tell me i have to submit our income in the system. After that I received the letter said i have to submit me and bf income for : child care program + medicaid. Which i Did submit online. That’s why me and bf income is in the system now. Then I received the letter said i still have transition medicaid. I’m not sure if i should called again and tried to add my bf income in my baby case? Or do you think our income already in the system and i am good?
Thank you for helping!
