By skyforbes I’m a single Mom in California with 2 kids. My life has recently been turned upside down as we lost our home due to me getting sick and unable to work enough to afford the rise in rent our landlords wanted(I had cancer, but had surgery and am cancer free though still deal with health issues and need lots of medical care) The only place we have to live is my mom’s place, but it’s small and they’re no room for 3 of us. They’re wanting to live with their Dad. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through.
My only other option is to have them live with their dad while I work to get back on my feet (I’m self employed ). He’s more well off than me by far and has a longtime live in girlfriend so pretty much is a 2 income household. Although he has more money than me I don’t think he can afford healthcare for them. He’s self employed so even his own healthcare is expensive.
My main question is If I have the kids live with him temporarily until I get back on my feet will both me and my kids lose our Medicaid? Will I also lose my snap benefits too (I obviously know they will be lowered, but will I lose them entirely)?
My heart literally feels like it’s being torn apart to not have them with me full time, but I’m just at a loss.
