If my Cash Assistance ends, what happens to my family’s health care coverage?

Your family may be eligible to receive free or low-cost health care coverage, even if you no longer receive cash assistance. In fact, you and your family automatically remain eligible for Medical Assistance (MA)/Medicaid for at least six months after you start working, no matter how much money you make. Additionally, your children might remain eligible for Medicaid even after you no longer qualify. These programs can help working families:

Medical Assistance(MA)/Medicaid

  • Medicaid, also called Medical Assistance, offers free health care coverage to children and adults
  • Eligibility is based on your family size and income, and the age of your children
  • If you are eligible, you do not have to pay any premiums. Some services may have very low co-payments
  • Benefits may include check-ups, hospital stays, shots, prescriptions, and dental, and vision coverage. Under Medicaid, all medically necessary services for children are covered

Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

  • CHIP offers free or low-cost health insurance for children under age 19 whose families are not eligible for Medicaid.
  • Benefits include check ups, hospital stays, shots, prescriptions, and dental, vision and hearing services.
  • If you have questions, visit www.chipcoverspakids.com, call 1-800-986-5437 or ask your caseworker for information.
