Making Too Much For Help

Tweet

Well it has happened once again where I apparently make too much income to qualify for medicaid now so they've removed my kids from their insurance and placed them on a different insurance plan from CHIP. I feel like they are all the same system so I don't know why they say i'm not qualified for any assistance if this is kind of like assistance. I had this happen once before when I only had my son and was still married to his dad where I was making barely 900 a check and his father made a little more than I did at the time. We didn't qualify for food assistance already and I was already without medical insurance. This was a year prepandemic and I ended up having to pay for my son's insurance but was grateful it was only $47 a month which I could manage until pandemic hit and I was between jobs and our income had taken a hit. I then was able to get medicaid for my son once more. I still didn't qualify until I ended up Pregnant with my daughter end of the first pandemic year and then I was able to get myself insured as well and my daughter after she was born. I am praying I don't have to pay a high amount for both of them because I just took another hit at work where they have reduced my 70hrs a week to just 42hrs which cuts my take home in half almost and I can't afford to have that happen. Life is a little stressful at the moment.
