Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Past months have no bearing on current month income for Medicaid.
We made clear on the initial application that my wife was retiring and would have no income. They still wanted verification of her income the previous 2-3 months, which disqualified us.
They also disqualified us because we already had insurance through her work, even though we told them it was ending in April.
I thought we finally had it all sorted out, only to have to start over again. I have explained it numerous times and sent multiple documents detailing exactly what is happening, but somehow it keeps getting messed up. It's not rocket science, I don't know why it's such a problem.
We were trying to avoid having a lapse in coverage, but planning ahead was obviously a mistake. It probably would have gone smoother if we had just waited till she quit and existing health coverage ended. Knowing our luck, we would have had a health emergency before the new coverage started.
