It is possible that you may lose your Medicaid coverage if you go back to work and lose your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides health insurance coverage to low-income individuals and families. Medicaid eligibility is based on income, and individuals who receive SSI are typically eligible for Medicaid.

However, if you go back to work and your income exceeds the limits for SSI eligibility, you may no longer be eligible for SSI benefits. If you lose your SSI benefits, you may also lose your Medicaid coverage, as Medicaid eligibility is based on SSI eligibility.

It is important to understand that losing your SSI benefits does not necessarily mean that you will lose your Medicaid coverage. Depending on your state and your income, you may still be eligible for Medicaid even if you are no longer eligible for SSI.

For example, some states have expanded Medicaid eligibility to include individuals with higher incomes, and you may be able to continue receiving Medicaid even if you lose your SSI benefits. Additionally, if you are still considered low-income and meet certain other eligibility criteria, you may be able to enroll in a Medicaid program through the Health Insurance Marketplace.

It is important to be aware of how going back to work may affect your Medicaid coverage and to plan accordingly. You should consider the impact that losing your Medicaid coverage may have on your healthcare costs and budget, and you may want to explore other options for health insurance coverage, such as employer-sponsored insurance or a private plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace.

If you are considering going back to work and are concerned about losing your Medicaid coverage, it is a good idea to speak with a Medicaid representative or a qualified healthcare professional to understand your options and to determine the best course of action for you.

In conclusion, if you go back to work and your income exceeds the limits for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) eligibility, you may lose your SSI benefits and, as a result, your Medicaid coverage. However, it is important to understand that losing your SSI benefits does not necessarily mean that you will lose your Medicaid coverage. Depending on your state and your income, you may still be eligible for Medicaid through a state expansion program or through the Health Insurance Marketplace. It is important to be aware of how going back to work may affect your Medicaid coverage and to consider the impact that losing your Medicaid coverage may have on your healthcare costs and budget. If you are concerned about losing your Medicaid coverage, it is a good idea to speak with a Medicaid representative or a qualified healthcare professional to understand your options and to determine the best course of action for you.
