How does medicaid find out how much you make?

Question

does medicaid know how much you make even if you dont tell them what your income is

Answer 1

The Dept of Revenue and other government funded plans communicate with each other.  The DOR sends Quarterly income reports.  

I know somebody who was cut off because they no longer qualified.  The DOR report was sent to Medicaid.

Answer 2

If you work for a reputible employer you will have Medicaid/Medicare and Federal taxes (and State) taken out of every pay check.  It's the government, they know everything!
