By skyforbes Illinois Medicaid with unmarried parents and children.
Illinois Medicaid question.
Household includes unmarried parents with two children.
Medicaid has always counted mother as family size of 3 and the children family size of 4. Father has his own insurance.
Recently father got a new job and Medicaid asked for income verification. After receiving verification they sent a letter claiming that the mother and both children qualified for ongoing Medicaid benefits. The next day they received a letter stating mother was denied due to being over income level. Mother with children is definitely under income level for family of three by a large margin. Therefore they are counting the fathers income.
Did Medicaid change rules for unmarried couples? I was under the understanding that children had both incomes included for their qualifications and unmarried parents had their qualifications based on themselves and the children.
