Mass Health is not kicking anyone off right now because MA is still in a state of emergency because of COVID. So if that gets extended past 3/1/23 then you won’t get kicked off after that date either. The way things have been going with the government they seem to keep delaying and delaying or extending and extending. So I have paperwork with masshealth I haven’t passed in but yet here I am and still have masshealth no problem. They legally can’t kick anyone off even if they’re income is too high or they don’t actually qualify for masshealth anymore, which it sounds like you probably don’t because you are married now and with your husband’s income you wouldn’t and with his insurance you wouldn’t. But if you voluntarily cancel your masshealth you cannot sign up again based on your current income because you would not quality anymore. Unless you lie which is obviously illegal. So I do not suggest cancelling your masshealth until they kick you off. You can add your husbands to it as a secondary insurance when there is open enrollment. Pregnancy isn’t a qualify event? I thought in insurance terms pregnancy is considered a disability.

Thank you SO much, you were correct (I was ok the phone for 4 hours today)😅 they said because of the state of emergency they won’t kick me off and once they take the state of emergency away they will update the people at that time kicking them off.
They just said I had to add my husbands info/income so they had it but won’t effect my coverage until they end the state of emergency.
