So I just got a piece of mail that said NYS, all on their own, switched me back from Essentials Plan 1 to Medicaid because they have my income last year as $21k and change which is accurate.
It says in the reporting requirements to report changes, specifically, changes in income (ONLY IF RECEIVING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE)
I’m confused
I don’t receive any financial assistance so does this mean I don’t report income changes?
I’m anticipating starting a new job within the next couple weeks that will pay a $500 gross weekly salary (albeit as an independent contractor). It should also have a commission component but I have no way to know what that looks like or when that would start.
Do I report the new job when I start it or because they put me on Medicaid does that not require reporting since I don’t receive food stamps or TANF etc…?
