Could You Help Me Navigate? Recently Unemployed.
I resigned from my position just before Thanksgiving, applied for Medicaid insurance, and cancelled my previous Marketplace insurance (BCBS Florida Blue HMO) in favor of Sunshine.
Of course I still have leftover money in my savings to pay my rent, but after that - nothing but $50 a week from Shiftsmart. I guesstimated that the most I would make next year would be around $22,0000 if I find a job that doesn't pay as well as the one I just had for the past 7 years.
The notification on MyBenefits.gov says "proove income*. They also want a bank statement. As of now they say I don't qualify.
I'm paying my rent this week, so...I'll get a printout from the bank once it's emptied.
Is there anything else I can do? Call? Adjust my expected income? How do I proove that I don't have a job?
What else can I do? I'm a bit confused. Thanks.
