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.

My fiance card is in suspended an locked been trying to get someone to help me unlock it I’ve called 6 times in the past 2 weeks can someone please answer my question it’s getting anowing trying to get his card unlocked
My digital account was hacked by alibaba.com! I have missing money! I called the number listed for assistance in disputing the transaction. They told me it would be refunded in 5-7 business days. It’s STILL NOT REFUNDED! Now, I cannot get a real person on the phone to inquire about it. My next call will be to the financial institution that issued these funds/digital cards. Then I’m calling Governor Kemp office to find out why this type of theft is allowed.
Same here it’s been over ten days I’ve been waiting both of my cards have been suspended and I never used them myself and no one can give an direct answer I really think the customer service representative are taking people’s money because you have to give them your information before they can assist you
