I am pregnant I want to apply for a medicaid. Our household weekly income is $650.?

Question

Do you think I am elegible for medicaid? If our income is too much then will my rent and car loan make it available? Or must I show them less income?

Answer 1

It depends on all the information, but I think you may qualify for some things. If you haven't applied before that will help. If you work, they disregard some of your income and that varies. The best thing to do is to apply now. The sooner you do, the sooner you will receive benefits. Depending on how many months you are, your unborn child will be counted also.

Answer 2

I live in Alabama, and it depends on how many people are in your household. In a household of 2, meaning only you and your baby, because they count the unborn child, the limit is around $1330 a month. For a household of 3 (you, the unborn baby, and the father, or you, the unborn baby, and another child, etc), it's about $1600 a month. Yes, you do make way too much for any of those. Is some of that income the father's? Are you married to him? My medicaid worker said I did not have to report the father's income, even though we live together, because we aren't married. Which didn't make much sense to me because it says HOUSEHOLD income, not married couple's income. Rent and car loan do not have any effect on medicaid availability in my area, but you could always try. The worst they could do is say no. Doing a google search on pregnancy medicaid in your state should help.

I would just like to say that I think it's dumb that if you only make $1300 a month, your pregnancy is FREE, but if you make $1400 a month you pay full price. Why shouldn't where be some kind of middle ground, where at a certain income it would be free, at another it would be reduced, at another it would be half, and then there would be full-price. Just my thought.

Answer 3

when i applied for medicaid (in cali) she told us that any pregnant women can get madicaid, and you dont have to show income or anything. but the trick is that you only want ob and hospital care that concerns your baby. however if you just want insurance for you to a regular dr like the flu or something in that sort than you have to show your income, bank statments and so forth. also i just looked up eligability, i am not sure how many people reside with you, but for 2 people you have to make less than 2,035/mo. however it did say that only the pregnant womens income is to be considered, unless you are married. best bet is to go and talk to a social worker. becasue if cant qualify for full medicaid they have programs that are avialable for low cost

Answer 4

I live in GA and the $650 weekly income is much too high for free healthcare.

Answer 5

You will have to show proof of income, any and all utilities paid, rent or mortgage payments, car payment... I'm not sure if it's in all states, but in my state all pregnant women and children are eligible for medical coverage if it isn't available through your employer or would be a financial burden to pay and receive it through your employer.

Answer 6

Our income was too much for medicaid but I was eligible for medicaid as a SECONDARY insurance while I was pregnant. So if you already have insurance and they tell you that you make too much see if you can do it as secondary.

Answer 7

from my experience in my state i would say you make too much...rent will be taken into consideration, but not the car payment...if you can, show one income

Answer 8

i dont think ur income is to much

Answer 9

you would have to speak with the people about it... they will direct you or go onto your local website
