Pregnant and no insurance. What's the income limit for medicaid (medical)?

Question

It's to add health insurance and we just found out I'm pregnant. I'm afraid we won't qualify for medical? Do you know what the limit is? I only work about 2o hours per week and combined we make around $4000-$7000 ($7k on a very good month, he;s a direct sales manager at a dealership). His base pay is $3000 plus comission.

Answer 2

All you can do is apply at your local job and family services/ welfare office.  Each area has their own income limits and requirements.  Usually when you are pregnant the limit is a little higher but not always and only you would qualify not your husband.  Go down and fill out the application or see if you can request one be mailed to you.  You will have to have proof of income, your information and your husbands but they will tell you what all proof you need to provide with your application to see if you qualify.

Answer 3

I live in Ohio and you make to much to qualify here.  Try checking the department of children's and family's website in your area. Good Luck.  

Answer 4

I do not think that you will qualify for medical(at least free medical), but they do have other programs out there that you might qualify for. Contact your local public assistant office (or WIC) for more information.

Answer 5

It may depend on whether or not you two are married.  Medicaid doesn't count the income of a boyfriend on pregnancy related.  If you are married then his income counts.  Also, the unborn child counts as a person when looking at the income chart.   Assuming it's just you and him then if you're married you have a household of three and would count combined income.  If not married then it's a household of two counting just your income.  Income is calculated using the gross amounts before taxes and there is usually a deduction from earned income.  Without knowing what state you live in it is impossible to tell you if you qualify as states can differ in the income limits but it should be somewhere on your state's social services website.
