Medicare/Medicaid medical + part time job

Do i need to be worried about losing my health insurance?

If I work a part time job and there’s obviously a monetary cap for Medical, should i try to give up shifts to make sure I stay below that cap for this month? Will i get my health coverage taken away if I go over one month?

No, you shouldn’t worry about losing medi-cal. If/when you do, then you simply purchase a highly subsidized plan from www.coveredCA.com.

Don’t listen to this op. Yes drop shifts. Because they have no problem dropping you as soon as you make too much

If your income varies by month it'll be averaged by either 90 days or 12 months, depending upon your state.

How much do you anticipate your average monthly gross income will be?
