What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I am currently on Medicaid. I havent had my baby yet, but im due in less than a week. When I first became pregnant, I was living with my boyfriend and we were together and nothing has changed since then. However, I did not include him on the Medicaid application due to the fact that our income combined would not qualify me to recieve Medicaid but there would definitely be no way we could afford to get insurance, especially with my work not providing maternity leave for me. Also, my boyfriend is contract labor, so really theres no way to know how much hes going to make each week because of the hours, but even with the lowest estimate we still would not qualify which is ridiculous to me, when theres ppl that dont even try to work and still recieve it. Anyways, were not married so I just put myself on the application, but I did give them his name and his mothers address because he will be on the birth certificate. Now that its been 9 months and ive been on Medicaid everyone keeps telling him that the state is going to come after him for child support when he goes to file his taxes. Everyone ive talked to said they wont unless I try and get tanf or food stamps which im not planning on. I really need to know for sure whats and if anything is going to happen. He supports me and we go in half on every bill. But there just would have been no way we could afford the medical bills w/o the help of Medicaid even though they say we make to much.
