(Edit for more info: i did a few questions to see what I might be eligible for and it looks like I'm most likely eligible for a "time limited Mainecare" plan because my medical bills exceed my income only for the month of June so I don't think I would qualify for Medicaid full time tbh, which is fine but I do want to make sure I'm answering the questions correctly)
So I make about $24,000 a year as a grad student and to get the reduced care at my hospital (had to get rabies shots) I need to apply to Medicaid.
I don't know how to answer some of these questions because my stipend from the university is only paid to me 9 months out of the year and I work 20 hours a week technically for that stipend. But for example in the summer I'm getting a little bit more than my regular stipend amount and I'm working 40+ hours a week.
So do I put 20 or 40 hours??? My pay stubs I would show them if they asked would include the 20 hour a week job until May and then starting in June it would reflect more hours worked.
I went through this same issue when I applied for SNAP and I was awarded benefits but it gave me so much anxiety because I felt like I was lying or I was going to get accused of fraud so I just didn't recertify and let it lapse (it was only $23 a month anyways and not much of a help).
Thanks for any help or insight with this!
