Announcement and Question...all in one
Hey there folks,
First off the announcement: As of 5:36 PM EST November 3rd and I'm the proud father of a new baby boy! :-) Michael and his mother are doing fine and my little boy is already figuring out who in the family he can get the most spoiling from LOL Not for the question: The hospital tried to file for Tenncare (TN's version of state level medicade for the uninsurable) for the baby. Now this is what I wanted them to do since I can't get any sort of health insurance for my wife or the baby. Well they called here today and said that they're going to process the baby's case based on my wife and not on me. I told them that my wife was a Canadian national and was still getting her AOS processed and that they needed to process the baby's papers under my name. But they said they since my wife has a TN photo ID card that they were still going to try to process the baby's case under her. My question is this - Is this going to cause a problem when my wife goes for her AOS interview? After all my father and myself both are her sponsors, can the fact that they processed the baby's insurance through my wife come back bad on my wife? We've already told the hospital's insurance office that even if Tenncare offers my wife insurance we were not going to take it, so the only insurance will be in the baby's name and not my wife's or mine. Plus we're not going to get Foodstamps or WIC, so I don't see a problem when the interview comes due...but I may be wrong. As seeing as a lot of you have helped me in the past or point me in the right direction I thought I would ask you all. Thanks, Toby & Antoinette Woods |

Congrats. Any assistance your baby gets is irrelevant as far as the
affidavit of support goes but I guess you already know that by your comments. You will have to contact your state to see if the coverage your wife gets counts as means-tested benefits. Here's the INS's take: "Currently, Federal means-tested public benefits include Food Stamps, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and the State Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP). States and local jurisdictions may also designate certain of their programs as means-tested public benefits. The following types of programs are not counted as means-tested public benefits: emergency Medicaid; short-term, non-cash emergency relief; services provided under the National School Lunch and Child Nutrition Acts; immunizations and testing and treatment for communicable diseases; student assistance under the Higher Education Act and the Public Health Service Act; certain forms of foster-care or adoption assistance under the Social Security Act; Head Start programs; means-tested programs under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act; and Job Training Partnership Act programs."
