I have a question. We live in North Carolina and plan on getting married this year. My fiancé and I have one child together and I have 2 of my own. Right now my daughters have Medicaid. My question is when we get married will they lose their Medicaid even though my fiancé isn't their biological father? The reason I am asking is because my daughter has type one diabetes and needs good insurance. Thank you!

When your fiance becomes part of your household, his income may bump you up to a level where your daughters may not be eligible for Medicaid anymore.
Thats what I was wondering cause right now our son doesnt get Medicaid because me and his dad live together And thats our only child together. I was just wondering about my other twos Medicaid if since we become married if they would loose it because we make to much together
It's absolutely disgusting how there's so much discrimination against marriage and medical for people who receive medicaid and or SSI.For this an individual should be able to sue.And the ignorance of people about "Others living in sin" or "taking street drugs is sick.I will be losing all benefits because of my choice to marry,and I WILL be using street drugs also.there is no other choice.
Do the same rules apply if your marrying someone on disability?
I had called in to tell them we got married when I called everyone to update my name and I for and they informed me that I lose it but my kids remain on it til they are 18. So far thats how it has been we got married in 2016, and the kids still had Medicaid and mine fell off. We are in Kansas
You will become a family of 5 when you are married. You'll have to see with your social worker what will happen.
Don't rely on us. Go see the experts at the Social Security office. Get it in writing, too. Hope all works out.
It appears from your questions and comments that you are already a family of 5 (living together) but you are only reporting a family of 3 to Medicaid right now but plan to change that to a family of 5 after you get married.
Remember, Social Security is a government agency and it is always in your best interest to be honest and above board when reporting (or not reporting?) any type of information.
