IF ME AND MY HUSBAND GO ON MEDICAID WILL IT AFFECT MY AOS?

[bahamamama234 25]

my husband has an infection in his knee, we want to get health insurance right now, but his job enrollment only opens in MAY ... If we go into MEDICAID is this a government benefit? Will it affect my AOS? thanks a lot

He is eligible you are not.

You are not eligible for Medicaid. In addition, they are going to have you enroll in the affordable care act program, since it is open enrollment until February.

So let's say that he get's it, not me, only him...

Can we do it that week still? Will it not be bad for my AOS? our interview is february 10, can he enroll and we don't mention nothing about on the interview?

His knee really needs treatment and would be too expensive to afford from our pockets 100% of the cost

Non-cash or special-purpose cash benefits are generally supplemental in nature and do not make a person primarily dependent on the government for subsistence. Therefore, past, current, or future receipt of these benefits do not impact a public charge determination. Non-cash or special purpose cash benefits that are not considered for public charge purposes include:

Medicaid and other health insurance and health services (including public assistance for immunizations and for testing and treatment of symptoms of communicable diseases; use of health clinics, short-term rehabilitation services, and emergency medical services) other than support for long-term institutional care.
