yes you can be married and get medicaid. It is all on the income. Just see how much money you are making, and get take care of insurance now. If you don't and you need medical help soon then you will be in trouble with lots of bills. Go get medicaid tomarrow, no matter what. Then get married. I got married 1 month after my baby was born, and did not get to have a honey moon. I suggest you go before that baby is born. good luck and congrats.

If you can get on Medicaid do it right away. Don't worry about getting married yet. You really don't want to rush into a marriage and not be ready. You need to be ready for the baby. Don't feel ashamed for not getting married. You don't need to be married just because you are having a baby. Now Medicaid is a great start for your baby. Start on W.I.C to. Stay at your job and then go on maternity leave. I am not sure how old you are or if you and your boyfriend live alone or not. I will tell you that Medicaid will take everyone income that is living with you or even giving you money. Never get married just because of being pregnant. I waited to get married after having two of my children with my husband now. I wanted to be sure he will be there for me and our kids before I committed to a marriage with him. Think twice before doing. Good luck!!

I know alot of people who wer/are in your situation. Some decided to wait, not only to have the baby, but until the child was old enough to participate in the wedding. And some who quick got married before the child is born. I think the latter is a little out dated - it's 2006 and so long as the child has 2 loving parents who cares if they are married or not? I know me personally - would wait until after the wedding - don't you want to drink alcohol and have a good time at the wedding, too?

You can get medicad when you are married as long as your husband doesn't have insurance and you guys don't make enough money to pay for insurance. I was 18 when I had my first baby and because I wasn't married I had medicaid and also went on WIC. I was also working 2 jobs at the time- so I'm not saying screw the system- but if you are working than you are paying taxes for this stuff. Just make sure you are getting married because you love eachtoehr- not because you are having a baby.

Maybe, you are better off getting W.I.C. or Medicaid if you are not married...sad but true. Look into it and see if it benefits you better to be single.
But, if I were in your shoes - since I'm liveing with my boyfriend and we are planning to get married next year - mostly because we want to have kids but we want our kids to have the same last name as their father and be born to married parents. It is important to us that we are married first. So, there is that issue to deal with. If he has a job though with health insurance and you get married - you can be added to his health insurance.
Best wishes to you both - I hope you have a healthy baby and a good life as a new family. God bless.

yes, my best friend got pregnant and was on medicaid. They got married and she had to report his income but she was still able to keep her medicaid. Also if your boyfriend/hubby makes more than medicaid they have a program out now called FAMIS. Its for people who make to much money for medicaid but dont have insurance. It only covers the mother and the baby but it pays for everything. I was on it in the beginning of my pregnancy because my husband just graduated and got a job in his field, so he wasnt offered insurance yet. But now we are on his insurance. Lol anyway, point being yes you can get either medicaid or FAMIS. Congrats on being pregnant and I hope that everything works out well for you!

Yes, you can get that and be married--depending on your income. You will need pay stubs for proof of both you and your husband's jobs--and whoever else lives in the house.
I had to get on Medicaid before and not only did I have to put down my husband's job and my own but I had to write down everyone who lived in our house. Our best friend lived with us at the time. I think if you and your boyfriend are living together (regardless if you are married) you will have to put him down and supply pay stubs for him as well. So it really doesn't make a difference if you married.

yes you can ,, trust me my kid is disabled and shes on medicaid,, one drawback to that issue is that you cannot exceed a certain salary base,, based on family size,,,life is tough under medicaid,, but they do pay quite a bit,,,
also in most states if your child is born out of wedlock,,, all there info will be either at the county office of where they were born,, or like here in michigan,, records would be at the states offices,,, be married if you plan to do so,, itll benefit you in the long run,,,,
alot of varying circumstances and every state is different,, so dont ask for opinions on here ,, you need to check w/ your local Family Independence agency and find out what their guidelines and restrictions are

Getting Medicaid doesn't make any difference to your kid. Listen, get married before your innocent child is born. Don't risk having this child out-of-wedlock otherwise you and your boyfriend will incur the disrespect of this child (who'll become an adult) forever.
Get your marriage license and certificate of marriage before October ends!
