I'm mad at myself because I had been re-enrolled in Medicaid and decided to update my application anyway tonight because I had worked for 2 months this year from Jan to Feb and made only $1k total since I worked 2 days a week. I was let go from that job and am supported by family. So I made only 1k this year…I decided maybe I should report those 2 months on my application to be safe and I chose the option "seasonal/past employment" and put the income and the start date as Jan 1 2025 and end date as Feb 15 2025. At the end of the application it strangely said I am not eligible for Medicaid and wanted me to upload documentation and there were many options but I didn't understand so I hit the button at the bottom to choose my plan so it took me to the next page and bypassed that document stuff. On the next page it showed that I am covered by Medicaid till November 2026 and I had to confirm the plan… but then once I completed it and it says congratulation you are enrolled in Medicaid for another year….on my dashboard it shows an urgent notification that I need to supply documentation and when I click on the documentation it says "Upload Proof of Household Income by 11/28/2025 then it says "I receive income from:" I chose the option "None of the above. No income or have recently lost income source." because it's the only one that applies to me. But then the document options it asks for are*: "A letter form previous employer with termination date, DOH Self Declaration of Income Form, Proof that Social Security Benefits have ended, Proof that unemployment benefits are exhausted, or Proof you have applied for unemployment benefits."

The social security and umemployment stuff doesn't even apply to me. What is this???? What do I do and why did this happen?? Did I do something wrong in my application??? Now I'm regretting doing the update for a small $1k report of income for 2025 and should have left the application alone. I really do not want to contact my ex-boss for a letter. And I looked into this DOH Self Declaration of Income form and it only seems to be asking for income in present tense as if the person is currently working so I don't understand why I'd have to fill it out and how I would even fill it out.
