News Flash. I now received my COLA for 2024. That miniscule increase just disqualified me from Medicaid! How can that be? They tell me now my "income" from Social Security (far from top tier) is too much and so now I lose Medicaid and will have to go for a markeplace program that will cost me money, creating MORE of a burden than before COLA. What the heck is that all about?

Was approved a few months ago for SSI due to medical condition. I received a SSA letter stating I also qualify for Medicaid.
