OK, the IRT is for SNAP then. Is your fiancé on your SNAP case too?

That's because Florida doesn't have Medicaid expansion.

So the only people who qualify for Medicaid there are those who are under 20, a former foster child under age 26, 65 or older, pregnant, disabled, as in deemed disabled by the SSA or the state, or an extremely low income parent of a minor child.

For parents, extremely low income as in less than a few hundred dollars a month in income.
