Does anyone know if I am going to get in trouble for fraud or something like that? I am so scared! I don't know why I didn't think of it!!! It didn't enter my mind.
PS..I don't know if they have CHIP in all states...it is Childrens Health Care Insurance Plan...I think..I dunno..I just made that up i think...anyway..it is not medical assistance, it is something else...when medical assistance is denied, it goes to CHIP.

Complete the form and let the chips fall where they may (sorry couldn't resist). Seriously, some assistance programs only do reassessments once a year, others once a quarter. Some like SSI can change every month. This may or may not turn into a problem. Best to just be up front and open. They'll find out anyway. How much benefit did your children get from CHIP since the SSDI began?
