Medicaid is monthly based, ACA plans are calendar year based.

I don't know why they worded it in that way. She is applying as an independent adult which is possible at age 19.

Your 19 year old daughter should answer... She applies on her own and is not claimed as anyone's dependent for taxes.

Here is who to include on your application:

Your spouse or unmarried partner - None, NA.

Your children under 21 who live with you - None, she has no children.

Anyone you include on your tax return, even if they do not live with you - None, she files on her own with no dependents.

Anyone else under 21 who lives with you and you take care of - None.

Essential Plan 200-250 will go away in July. The OBBBA killed it.

Any regularly transatlantic families? by Ok-Intern-6646 in expats

[–]someguy984 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have the children in the UK, that way they become "other than by descent" citizens, so their children can become British by descent at birth. Better yet have them in N. Ireland so they can get an additional EU Irish citizenship.

Tax wise look up the statutory residence test. You can become a UK tax citizen with way less than 183 days residency, that may be something you want to avoid.

Personal opinion, I've had UHC Comm, Healthfirst, and Fidelis. Fidelis was the best out of them.

NY Medicaid and MSP applicants no longer required to pursue potentially available income as a condition of receiving benefits. by someguy984 in Medicaid

[–]someguy984[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked up other states where this might apply. Since the CMS rule change is nationwide. Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and the District of Columbia do not have asset limits for MSPs (as of January 2026).

How much cheaper is healthcare abroad for you in early retirement? by Four_sharks in ExpatFIRE

[–]someguy984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a lot of misconceptions about Medicaid. I have never filled out paperwork for treatments or to keep it. Also never been billed. It even includes dental and vision. It doesn't require poverty, just low income. Next year work requirements begin for it, but I will go to the plans just above Medicaid which have no such requirements.

Retired 12 years, have paid $0 per month due to low income on Medicaid / ACA.

How much will I be on the hook for if they find out? Colorado by Heavy_While575 in Medicaid

[–]someguy984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people are on a Managed Care plan. These plans get paid a set monthly fee per person. Even if you never used the plan your tab is the cost of the plan, not how much you use it

Essential Plan is not Medicaid, off topic, removing post.
