Pregnancy and medicaid

[Sylvia_n_Joseph 3]

You and your child as citizens can collect all the benifits that are available. Your wife is a new resident and as a condition of coming you promised that you would support her and that if she ends up on need based benifits you will pay those costs back. It is part of the argeement we all make to bring our loved ones here . That includes medical bills.

Check on it but as I posted earlier Dep. Human Resources won't allow a GC holder to apply for any kind of means tested benefits.

"Congratulations on the pregnancy and good luck to your application. " Getting pregnant when not able to afford such isn't a thing to congradulate people for.

I congratulate ALL those that "worked at" NOT getting pregnant when they can't afford to!!

only fool-proof way not to get pregnant is not to have sex...

emergency medicaid only would cover labor of the baby could that still affect the visa that is AOS not the visits of the medical to check on the baby would wic be considered still a treat to the visa

If you go here (a thread I made) you will see it says: Medicaid, food stamps, WIC and some other programs do NOT make you a public charge, therefore you should be ok

thanks to all that applied i check on these with the medicaid people and they also told me that it would only cover labor of the baby and not the other bills however they can do payment plans thanks again

Your only choice is right after birth to apply for emergncy medicaid. If you look it up you will see that this program is free and clear of the AOS that you had to sign. WIC isn't covered under the AOS but it's not medical insurance. EM will only cover the the birth of the baby ( the day or days your wife stays in the hospital curing birth) You can apply for medicaid for you baby as he/she is a citizen and not covered under the AOS

This is correct. THere is too much misinformation in this post. The Emergeny Medicaid for Aliens program is specifically excluded from the list of Means Tested Benefits. Apply and if you qualify, utilize this benefit without any concerns for your AOS processing. The benefit to the Alien is for all costs associated with the labor and delivery, including any complications that arise to the mother. Application for the newly born child is a different thing. Although, if the married alien met the qualifitions for the Emergency Medicaid for Aliens program, it is most likely the baby will meet the requirements for Regular Medicaid. This will cover all (most) costs for the baby. As the baby is a US Citizen, there is no effect of the Alien's AOS procesing.
