Pregnancy Medicaid & Child Support

Originally Posted by Unregistered Young lady, your question regarding your mother has been answered. If your having to enforce child support against your child's father hinges on whether she's accepted by Medicaid or not, then she's not going to be eligible to receive it. I'm sorry you were the victim of rape or something. That's the only thing I can imagine happening where you got pregnant by a man whose last name you do not know. Why would anyone willingly have unprotected sex with a total stranger unless under force or duress?

Fyi: The IRS listed the father as unknown & my mother was approved for full Medicaid. Thank you for none of your help.

Get it how you can girl.
Forget these idiots and Congrats to you and your boyfriend! You will someday be able to provide without Medicaid but until then please use it. Use it to care for you and your beautiful unborn baby!
I work full time and so does my boyfriend ( baby dads/ life partner) and our new daughter recieves Medicaid. I have my bachelors degree and will go for my masters soon.

Congratulations on being one of the those people we are forced to support so that you can spend your own money somewhere else.

If both YOU and your baby's father are working FULL TIME, then there should be no reason why you should qualify for both Medicaid and food stamps - unless you have conveniently left out some pertinent info on the application (such as your REAL income and that of the baby's father, who is ALSO obligated to support his own child). I'll bet you also have financial aid for your school as well.

Thanks so much for milking the system yourself so that the REST of us taxpayers end up having to support YOU.

Oh my goodness I have no idea who this jerk of a nurse is and Wishing harm on people is cruel. But I hope you get raped. I hope every child you have gets addicted to crack and blows strangers in parking lots because you truly deserve a bad life for your obvious hatred toward anyone who doesn't fall into your ideals of life. I hope actually that you are incapable of having children because enough harm would come to them just being raised by you and getting addicted to crack would be a blessing next to having you as part of their everyday life. Rather I hope if you happened to find someone with a fetish for uptight b!itches who criticize and cut down people for enjoyment, he cheats on you regularly with AIDS infested hooker. . . and I'm sure he wont even know their last names! Ohhhhhhh noooooooo how could he possible be with someone whos last name he doesnt even know?????

People make their own choices and your judgement doesnt change their situation. You are a miserable miserable excuse of a woman, of a human being. Maybe you should look in the mirror and cast your judgement there, because you are very blind to reality if you can look in the mirror and think you are any sort of MORAL or UPSTANDING addition to mankind. You are just as much of a plague to our society as you think these girls are. And as it was already said I wont elaborate but I complete agree that you should not be in the medical field just to judge all these people you "help". If you want to "help" take a vow of silence until you learn to be a decent human being.

But I MUST being saying these things because "I see the truth in your words" not because its very obvious a common point of view that your the bad person in this situation. We ALL MUST be wrong though. Its just US not YOU. I'd rather be a part of the group against individuals like you and pay every dime of my taxes to girls who admit that their choices werent the best but are seeking help in their situations than keep someone like you alive in a nursing home even one more day than possible. Negative attitudes dont change things, helping does. Maybe they should have taught you that before they let you loose on those poor people of whatever place in hell your from.

Oh my Gosh people..did you not read the part where she CLEARLY said she was ON birth control, she was OF AGE and it wasn't planned??? I too have had this getting pregnant issue, 8 times.. On birth control, multiple different forms of BC. Lost all of them except my now 6 month old child. Same person every time. Basically all of you people are too quick to judge some text on a computer screen. Such animosity towards someone who merely asked a legitimate question. There are so many screwed up people sucking the medicaid system and welfare system dry that have continually lied through their teeth just so they could get all these services free that this one girl, who actually asked about what she should do, will not even make a blip on the radar while she bides her time on the system with full intentions of getting herself an education, and get herself off of the system. How dare all of you that have judged this person. I'm not a believer in god, or any religion, but do and say things that you would like said or done to yourself. Karma's a ***** and all of you *******s who condemned this person before even knowing what she looked like, where she was from or what she was about can all just wallow in their own self misery. I feel sorry for you, especially that nurse who works in the labor ward. There is too much good in this world, such as birth and beginning of life, to be damning those people in the hospital before they even get a chance to see what its like to raise a child. Who knows it may kick them into high gear to support themselves and their children. Ive seen it happen with several of my friends. I don't know about you people but that kind of responsibility changes a person. Nurse Debbie downer, for lack of a better nicer name, before going to work and hating the women in the delivery room that may or may not require assistance from the state, try looking at yourself first. Everyone has their secrets and for you to pass judgement on all "those types" as you said is not very becoming of someone who potentially could handle my little one. Even if you are saying in confidence and behind an unregistered username what you said to this girl, I wouldn't want that kind of a person working in a what is supposed to be happy place of life. When you can badger unknown people and feel as nasty as you do about the people you deal with on a daily basis, I suggest a change of occupation.

Honey your child is legitimate either way. It's breathing the same air a married couple child is and doing the same things. Let's not judge God is in charge of that. Tax payers let's not talk cheating the law/government because you do it every Damn year its ok for you to claim a child that isn't yours hell some of them you don't even know but you can judge her and call her a loser get a life in January don't claim that women's child its against the law

I'm loving your respond

I don't understand this post, I have been married 20 year and have two beautiful children. I claim 2 children on my tax return (they are both under 18). I have never received government benefits and pay a lot of money in taxes. You need a social security number to claim children on you taxes and to the best of my knowledge this is crosschecked to all returns filed.

The sad truth is that children born outside of marriage grow up to be significantly more likely to end up in prison, be the victim of a violent crime, have mental health issues, have serious addictions, end up on welfare etc. etc. etc. The statistics on this are mind blowing.

I also find it disturbing that so may people are having premarital sex without condoms, this may be the reason the USA leads the developed world in STD's.

Also, I am not a nurse. I seems that if anyone posts anything that is not all sunshine and roses about unwed mothers on welfare it gets blamed on a nurse. As far as I can tell those posts are all to "unregistered" guests, which I assume could be any number of people.

Check into filing shared custody. Not sure how that works with medicaid but I know normally, neither parent pays child support because it's shared custody (equal time with each parent so each pays their share to raise the child). Now if one of you has full custody and the other only gets visitation (every other weekend + one week night) then the other person should pay child support. But like I said, not sure how Medicaid works in that situation. I don't see how they would be forced to pay child support if they are already supporting the child 50% or more of the time.

Originally Posted by Unregistered Hi, I'm a young father. Live with my parents, mother lives with her parents. Baby lives with mother. We both work, I have my child on 4 days .

I do not want to fund my household + pay child support when I'm ALREADY putting in a lot of my time. Why am I forced to do this? Anything I can do? What method did you use so the father didn't have to pay CS ?
