Will USC spouse on Medicaid affect ROC?

[Angela Murray 4]

Hello We've just sent off the I-751 for my husband's ROC. My husband and I are both employed. I have/had 2 jobs--During the day I run an online shop of made to order clothing and in the evenings I'm a pharmacy tech working toward my certification. The stress of running my own business and working in a busy pharmacy was causing my health to decline. I've decided to take my shop offline for a while and go fulltime at the pharmacy. The problem is that I have a medical condition that requires regular meds/treatment and I can't go without health insurance.

We live comfortably but there's no way we can manage paying out of pocket for my doctors visits and medication. I went onto the healthcare market place on New York State of Health and as it turns out I'm eligable for medicaid so I signed up earlier today...However I'm now panicking that this could negatively affect my husbands ROC.

If I go through with getting medical coverage via this method, will this cause problems for us? I don't need foodstamps or anything, just the coverage and just for me (he doesn't want health insurance). I wont need it long, once my fulltime hours kick in (which may take a while) I get health insurance through my job but it takes 3 months.

Thanks so much in advance

There is no financial support proof required for ROC. Just joint things in both names and showing you both live at the same address so you can prove a valid marriage and get approved for 10 more years.

Thanks so much for your response, Nich-Nick. I've been biting my nails ever since I signed up. I was petrified that they'd see that I was on medicaid and think my husband and I were incapable of supporting ourselves. Thanks again!

You will submit (joint) tax returns and (joint) bank statements, but the reason is to show you commingle your money, not to prove you reach a certain mark of income. It's about the two names on them. Be sure to save documents with dates covering the whole two years.
