Am I eligible for Medicaid if I am on H4 visa? I am not working at present and expecting a child in January 2018.
Can insurance kick in faster for a pregnant woman after special enrollment is successful? Right now there is minimum 15 days gap. So for coverage to begin November 1st, I have to apply by October 15.
Thanks

All that said, it would seem to me that the regulations for the H1B visa mandate that such an employee be given family coverage through the employer, and the H4 visa is for immediate family members, and thus should be covered by that coverage. This sounds very suspicious, and I think that the Department of Homeland Security should be alerted.
