My kiddo is one of them. She’s special needs and has had it since she was born.

Is she no longer eligible? Did you start making "too much money" post-pandemic for the program or was it some administrative nonsense?

Yeah too much money, we were on a state waiver program which basically got us Medicaid, but we were going to get kicked off but COVID started and we qualified for Medicaid but now we’re finally getting kicked off

I can't imagine how expensive it must be to care for a loved one with special needs. I hope you actually are making enough to do so comfortably.
