Denied Medicaid/GA due to incorrect income

I just tried to renew my kids Medicaid(Children under 19 years of age) in Georgia. I tried my best to answer all questions on income honestly and accurately. My husband works and I stay home with our kids. I do make occasional/inconsistent income myself by playing my instrument for weddings and such but it is never the same every month. All of my kids were denied because our supposed income was way over the threshold. However the number listed as our income was totally incorrect. Almost twice what we make in a month! I never ever listed these numbers on our renewal. I honestly have no idea where they came from.

I guess my question is, what are the best next steps? Filing an appeal through the fair hearing process? Reporting a change? Just not really sure how to move forward, and it’s near impossible to get ahold of anyone on the phone.
