shouldn’t I be able to get medicaid for my son whom I have custody of but am not the biological father?
I am a single father. I have custody of my 2 kids. One of which is not mine biologically. Have no idea who biological father is.(I am his dad and will continue to be). The mother was ordered to pay support and I do sometimes see some but it is not enough to afford health insurance. I have insurance on my daughter and dental on both. Can not afford health on both. Social Services say I make to much money to be able to get medicaid for my son. I do love him like he is mine but I don’t understand. Don’t foster parents get government assistance? Hopefully soon I will be able to afford it. Its sad that people that actually could use the help can’t get it!
my ex said she was pregnant by me. we got married. She had the baby. I signed the birth certificate. Weeks passed and I realized the baby was mixed and had to get a DNA test to prove I was not the biological father. Again I do love him like he is mine! So he does have my last name. The insurance I have on my daughter is through my job. Cost is not to bad for one but its shoots sky high for the "kids" plan.
It is sad. That’s why the Health care Bill will help.
If you have legal custody of this boy, you can get medicaid for him.
Thank God he has you.

but maybe you can ask this question on jamrie.com

If you have legal custody of your son and your daughter, they are the same under the law. Whatever benefits you are getting for your daughter, you should also get for your son. You may apply for medicaid for both, if you make under a certain amount. If you are getting it for your daughter, your son should also qualify. The only question I would have is: is your son adopted by you? fostered by you? or none of the above? The biology is not the issue – the legal status of your son is.
