well you will have to get a paternity test, if she refuses, then you may need to get a court order for one. Second, if you were married or not she could have gotten govt. assistance. I was on medicaid when I became pregnant. Not something I am proud of, but we needed it as we did not have insurance at the time. We now have insurance and are no longer on any type of assistance.
Anyways, when you aply for those things you have to lost everyone in your household, married or not, room mates even count. It all is combined to determine weather you qualify for medicaid. Its based on pay and number of people in the house. I don't remember what it is but it was like under 25,000 for a household of two, 30,000 for a household of 3. (AGAIN NOT SURE THE ACTAUL AMOUNTS)
If she qualified for medicaid, she is automatically qualified for WIC. (again I was married at the time.) We did not use the WIC because we could afford milk and things like that, just not medical bills. |
