ACA/Medicaid income

[gbstack]

So my daughter may have some issues with Medicaid Expansion. Because she is a part time staff member and full time student and currently not a resident of North Dakota she may be denied. I thought it was only based on income but it looks like other requirements may be needed.

The new plan if she is denied is purchase the college plan for $2400 per year or sell off her Facebook shares that have a cost basis of $25.00. The capital gains would be enough so she would qualify for a marketplace plan at $53.00 per month, and reinvest her money from Facebook in index funds.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

She should apply after she has moved to North Dakota. No such thing as open enrollement period for Medicaid, it is open all year. Also it is retroactive for up to three months, provided she would be eligible in those months.

She started School/work in North Dakota in July! I guess they just sent down new updated information for students. She may still qualify, just waiting to hear!

What do you think about the other options?
