Her husband does not have insurance and neither does she. His age is above 20 and he makes in excess of maximum limitations set by Family Health Plus/Medicaid/Healthy NY. Therefore he will go without insurance. However, since his wife is 18 can she get child health plus if her legal guardian is her husband (basically)? Up to what age is she eligible for Child Health Plus? What I do know is that CHP is up to age 19. However, the child in this case is legally married to someone without health insurance and an income much higher than max limits set by the State Dept. Thanks for the answer! Please provide source as well/experience. If the married child is 17 is that still a disqualifier? In other words marriage is an automatic disqualification? Thanks for the clarification!

No...married is the disqualifier.

If married and under age 21, you have to apply as an adult to your state Medicaid. Look for the state or county website about applying.

Each state sets the requirements for child welfare health insurance. Some states cut children off when they are 18, most when they are 19, but ALL of them will cut off a child who is married - if you're old enough to be in a marriage, then you're too old for child welfare health insurance. It's your husband's responsibility to provide for you, not every OTHER working taxpayer in your state. Yes. The marriage is an automatic disqualifier for child welfare health insurance. You'd have to apply for welfare health insurance through the medicaid program in your state, NOT the child health insurance program. The only exception, would be if you are pregnant. If you are pregnant, most states will give the mother welfare health insurance, but limit it to ONLY things related to the pregnancy.
