Because of COVID, MassHealth paused certain activities such as redetermination (this is when they ask for recent stubs to see if you should still qualify), approved all Hardship Premium waivers, and other things to help people get through. The pause has recently ceased and MH is playing catch-up now. You won't be responsible for past "un-billed" premiums but they are unfortunately coming back for many soon.

Here's where I am confused. We are all under one roof. I make well over the FPL and at the upper end of the premium threshold. They have never asked her to get taken off mass health (as I use the VA) and her mother (we are not married) but live together uses mass health as well. We are under one roof and even with the 3 of us I am still above.

They have never asked her to be taken off before, just always increased what I owe for a premium. I am fine with this as I should pay more, we are happy with her established care and would like to remain the same.

What are the odds they would ask her to be taken off? My salary has been roughly the same since they last billed me so it's nothing new and they didn't ask then.

Kinda word vomit here. My biggest concern is I thought I was missing payments or something and I didn't want her coverage to lapse given open season and all.
