By skyforbes I’m starting a temp, 30-hour per week job in January 2026 at a school and it’s my hope that I can stay on (almost full-time) going into the 2026-2027 school year. However, my contract is for 30 hours/week and I'm not guaranteed a job after contract ends in early June 2026; the job also doesn't provide for medical benefits because it's just under the required hours per week. I currently have MassHealth (Massachusetts Medicaid) and will be reporting the income change (I’m going from unemployed to employed 30 hours/week), and then presumably getting the subsidized plans, but I also have a MassHealth renewal in August 2026.
If I had full MassHealth in the August 2025 to August 2026 period and then worked for 5 months from January to May 2026 making $3500/month, would I be eligible to renew for the same coverage in August 2026 if I’m not able to keep the temp job into the 2026-2027 school year? Doing my best to get full-time work with benefits, and getting some interviews but it is very difficult right now.
