Will the 18 dollar difference above the cutoff prevent me from getting family health plus?

the limit is 200. can i somehow push it? my weekly pay is approximately 218. my next option is to enroll in the health insurance provided by my college and the state, and it costs 660 quarterly.

Yes, it will. I was only $5 a week above the cutoff, and I was denied. Healthy NY costs more, but is the only other option. The only problem I had with them was that they refused to cover doctor followups that were based on original visits I had with the family health Plus.

    I would say yes. Here in Missouri I was only $5 above the amount for public assistance and I was denided. But I would try maybe your actual monthly income will come out less when they calculate it and then go from there. Good luck

    Since 218 is more than 200, yes you will be cutoff.
