Reply To: Health insurance for large families with decent income

‘Tina18: you have two options when applying for medicaid/chp… you can give them last year’s tax return or you can use what is called a “three month form” where you fill in any income and expenses you had in the last three months, and deduct expenses from income. This might help you be eligible, especially if your business is one which has ups and downs. For CHP, you are not required to notify them if your income goes up until the next time you need to recertify (a year later). With medicaid you are. It might be worth it for you to wait till a low period, and apply for chp then. ‘

this is good advice. thanks
