By skyforbes Situation: My boyfriend (not married) and I share 2 children and now live together. I have 3 children from a previous relationship. Currently, all kids are on 1st tier CHIP. I was asked to provide his income and as he is now added to my household on my case. I make a fair amount as is and want to know how adding him to my case will change my household’s income for CHIP. He also makes a fair amount and I’m sure with his income counted it will change our insurance situation but does anyone know how? I would understand if his income is calculated into the 2 children we share but I fear that his salary will change the financial status of insurance for my other 3 kids as well.
A full cost CHIP plan is feasible for 2 children, but all 5 would be astronomical. Can they count his income towards children he is not the biological father for just because he lives with us?
Currently paying ~$50/children for CHIP. According to the guidelines for 2025, our income combined will be over $253 per child.
Any insight would be helpful!
