Most likely not. I sure hope not.
Children in low-income households will generally qualify for Medicaid. Each state has Medicaid, though the name of the program may be different. You can ask your doctor or your child's school nurse. They will be able to tell you how to enroll. Or you can search your state government's website for "medicaid."
Absolutely - but let the child's Medicaid caseworker know so that providers will bill the private insurance first.
No, you file for his social security. Also, if you have limited income/assets, you might qualify for TANF or Medicaid, or the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Yes - private insurance is not a bar to Medicaid eligibility - but tell your Medicaid caseworker so that the private insurance is billed first.
NO!
If you and your spouse have a child together, you may receive Medicaid as a family if you meet the other eligibility requirements such as citizenship and income. Otherwise, you will have to qualify for Medicaid as an individual.
If the teen is not living with her parents, she and the child should be able to qualify on her own. If they are living with her parents, Medicaid will probably look at the entire family's income and resources.
Food stamps, no. Medicaid - the State will pursue the other parent for insurance coverage.
After approval for medicaid due to pregnancy, both you and your unborn child should remain covered by medicaid through the duration of your pregnancy, plus two months past the month of childbirth. After the birth of your child, the baby should be eligible for newborn medicaid. Both parents of an eligible child may or may not become eligible for medicaid, depending on income and other factors.
It won't. However, the CP should tell her Medicaid worker so that providers will bill the private insurance (not the taxpayers) first, then Medicaid.
There will be no effect.
