Has anyone heard of Access for Mothers and Infants or AIM?

It seems like a really good program if you make too much money to qualify for Medi-cal, and it is really inexpensive considering what it costs.

Well my sister sent me their application package; but I don't know how to qualify. If I was going to stay unmarried through-out the pregnancy I can figure that out; but the information provided does not address whether you count your future husbands income or not. It shows you obvioucly need to count your income and that of your husband; but not your partner unless you are living in the same household. I am planning on getting married in a month or two and want to start applying for the coverage now; but don't want to cause any problems later.

Is anyone fimiliar with this program and what I should do? I am going to call their office when they are open; but I wanted to know if anyone out there knew the answer. Please help. Thanks!!! :-)

    With this, as with all state-funded programs, apply using your current situation. No matter if you know it's going to change TOMORROW, fill out the paperwork for how it is TODAY.

    Talk to AIM about how you STAY qualified. Some programs -- like WIC -- you're certified for a certain time-period, regardless of changes. With others (like, if I recall, Medi-Cal), you have to report changes immediately. (They'll provide you with the correct contacts for it.)

    In any case, when you fill out the paperwork to initially qualify, fill it out for your present status. Anything else WILL cause huge problems.
