apply for medicaid be a problem

[gjhart 0]

Hi all,

I am currently five month pregnant and considering apply for Medicaid for prenatal care and all that stuff. I am worried if this is gonna be considered a "public charge" and cause any trouble when I apply to remove my condition end of this year. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Medicaid will deny your application because of your green card status, but you can apply for chip prenatal for unborn child. Go to your local human health service and get application.

The best advice I can offer would be for you to go to the local county health department and find out what they can do for you.

which is a means tested benefit. No public charge issue but the sponsor may be chased for payment.

I dont think it should have any impact on your app, but you can double check. I had medicaid while my hudband's app was going thru ROC and we got approved today with no RFE or interview. It's not necessarily a public charge, public charge would be food stamps or somekind of assistance. Medicaid is health care, and they do emphasize health care for babies and mothers.

It sounds like you're the USC. The USC is allowed to use whatever benefits they want, the immigrant can't
