To tell you the truth only your social worker who handles your case can give you that answer one way or not. This also depends on the state you are living in and the rules for this state. Once people are marked they normally file a joint tax return and if your new husband receives any type of benefits from work they will normally put you on them and also your son. It is a hard question to answer because you are not telling us if you will be added to his company benefits or if your son will be either. Your new husband might file a separate tax return right now but once your married all this might change.
Hello,1st of all,Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
There are several determining factors that contribute to the correct answer to your question, some of the factors that are considered include; location-(state) ,number of people in the household,total gross income,cost for rent or mortgage,utility costs,does your employer offer any health insurance plans, etc.,to name a few of the questions. Of coarse depending on the answers to the questions above,that will determine the answer, but also,if your employer offers health insurance benefits,it's possible for the state to help assist you in utilizing the insurance plan offered by your employer,it just depends on the various factors.
You need to check with your state department of health or which ever agency runs your Medicaid program. Don't forget, if your child is NOT eligible for Medcaid, your child may be eleigle for SCHIP (or CHIP).
Here is a general link about the program. Most states have a free, a partially paid and a fully premium paid program:
It is critical that children get preventive care and vaccines and the SCHIP program can be a Godsend for them!!
Please see if they are eligible if you cannot keep them on MA or have an employer based or Marketplace program. SCHIP is one of the best things out there to keep kids insured!
Each state is different so you'll have to check your eligibility with your state.
You can do this by just filling in the slots with number of people in house, 2 adults & one child, total income (does not matter how anyone files their taxes) and see if you still qualify
Most of the time it depends on how much of combined income. You would need to check with your state, because the the amount of income per couple could differ per state. Also here is a link to questions from others on the same subject and you can ask as well. www.insurekidsnow.gov/
Hi,
I agree with finding out your total income, and writing that down. Then call and find out if your child is still eligible. They like to know any changes that occur.
Have a blessed day!

Sit down and consult with your soon to be spouse. Perhaps he may even have a good health insurance plan (if he's working which you two would be added on).
It all depends on eligibility when you update the paperwork for your son, changing status that you are married.
There is no answer for you since it depends on household income.
