32. Cancelled everything....
Wed Mar 26, 2014, 07:14 PM
Mar 2014

Got online today... cancelled my previous application. Started over... this time I did as the rep suggested yesterday and that was to put self employed.

This maybe a more accurate depiction of my status anyway since I am being subcontracted by a company to do a job.

Anyway... same result. Says I did not qualify for medicaid and offered me to continue to choose a plan.

I called DHS and only was able to leave a message with my caseworker.

She most likely will call me tomorrow.

Also I may just call one of the several organizations here locally that are helping people sign up and see if they know something I don't.
