By skyforbes Hi, I am 29, single and live in South Carolina. I have a 5 year old who is already covered under my exes insurance but I claim them on my taxes. I moved here about 9 months ago and was denied because I was working part time and my income was too high for my household size of 2. I applied to marketplace insurance but the co insurance costs were too high for me to afford it and it didn’t offer me dental or vision coverage which is what I mainly need. I just found out my boss may no longer need me and I just had a couple questions on my eligibility. Does it matter if I quit or am fired? Once I lose this part time job I will have 0 income except for child support. Will my child already having coverage affect my eligibility? How long do I have to have no income coming in for them to approve me? I will get my last paycheck in about a week but it will only be a couple hundred dollars. Am I able to seek and start other employment while I’m waiting on approval? Thank you so much for the advice!
