me either@ftm38yrdue032616

@quansmom2016, I can understand plenty of reasons to want to list the father I just don't think women should be forced to.

i want his name on the birth certificate for personal reasons @ftm38yrdue032616

hmm... I work for the FDA, and I believe that under the affordable care act, if you qualify for Medicaid during pregnancy, you are not mandated to pay it back. I could be wrong, though.

and I thought TX was bad....I can think of lots of reasons a mother wouldn't want a father to be named or provoked with child support. rape, abuse etc. what if you just said you didn't know who it was?

i understand that every state is different thats why i put the state i am located in

@levleah, thank god! If I could afford to pay that back I would have just paid all my bills out of pocket!

I'm in sc and they do here

@sexychocolate, @sarahrachel0715 no, you do not have to pay back medicaid

That's completely stupid. What's the point of 'free healthcare' if you have to pay it back? I had to get Medicaid in the first place because my insurance company didn't cover pregnancy. Also completely stupid.

that is what i am trying to find out@sarahrachel0715

You have to pay back Medicaid??

me and the father are not together. Nobody mentioned that I would have to pay back medicaid also@sarahrachel0715

I have Medicaid, food stamps and wic. I live in NC. Is it just if you and the father aren't together? Or just because you aren't married? I live with my boyfriend and his family. But I cook my own dinner and I'm alone during the day so I feed myself. No one mentioned anything to me about this

even if medicaid just covers the baby and not me@babycasey

medicaid, cash assistance and daycare assistance, yes.

i thought you would only have to pay good stamp back with stamps and not money

that's ridiculous!!!! @maddieg4648

I understand. I was the same way! And yes @ce5ce I lived in sc and it was the same laws as fl, where I'm at now. I'm possed because even to get food help I have to do this whole process!!

Thanks I do not want to put my baby father on child support

whaaaat? they do it for food assistance? Ive only heard it for cash assistance (tannif) @maddieg4648

Thank you for your comment @maddieg4648

They only do it when you take out taniff. I'm pretty sure that's everywhere

Medicaid and wic, no.. But anything else like food assistance yes, I'm having to do it now.
