My guess is that if their income goes up they will no longer qualify for medicaid.
I don’t know what state you are in, but many states have (or had) health care plans for kids. I know a lot of people in NJ don’t have insurance but their kids are covered through a State program (not medicaid, which is Fed’l)
I really hope he gets the job. It’s good they are close to you now.
Believe it or not, they make too little for the Chip program in Pa.
Your guess is right on the money.
We (my wife and I) had two children living with us and as a condition of legal guardianship, we had to have them on Medicaid, as soon as we adopted them, they were removed from it because of our family income.
The real kicker here is that my wife and I didn't want them to be on Medicaid from day 1 and our primary insurer was perfectly willing to add them to our family plan at no extra cost as long as we were their legal guardians. The state (Illinois) demanded that we not remove them.
After the adoption was final, the state quickly removed them.
