(52,162 posts)I can certainly see them and a whole lot of other governors demanding recipients go through lengthy and difficult recertification processes using the estimated income as a justification, if for no other reason than to keep their programs cheap. I think anytime you overstate your income, and this is about over stating income, not understating it, you are running a risk of having the state try to kick you off programs. The underestimating is an entirely different kettle of fish and would only affect the feds. The advice people were giving the poster, incase you didn't bother to read it, was to OVERSTATE their income so they would qualify for the subsidies (their current income puts them in the category that was supposed to get Medicaid and thus not need subsidies). It is that OVERSTATEMENT, that concerns me.
