I’m sorry for my confusing post! I am the parent who is currently disabled, 3 kids, single parent and unemployed currently due to all of these challenges. I am on newly on Medicaid (health insurance coverage) because of my current low earnings and loss of health insurance in 2022 when I lost my job.
Prior to going on Medicaid for my own health insurance this year I had extraordinary medical expenses for myself over the past 2 years.
I am also caring for one of my children who has active cancer treatment.
My children DO receive child support from their high earning father.
I do have some savings for the children for a state school in a 529. So all is not lost.
My child who is off to college in 2024 is not disabled it is his sibling who is a cancer patient.
Yes, finances are an issue as I realize they are for many people.
