What is the upper income limit I can increase my income to in order to keep my Medicaid? (Sunflower insurance in Kansas.) Also, what to expect in tomorrow’s call from Social Security? (I originally got Medicaid and SSI due to a disability that had onset before age 18.)

My gross Doordash income for 2021 before deductions, was $28,586.83, at least according to Stride.

Deductions were $10,873.70, according to Stride.

2021 business profit was $17,713.13, according to Stride.

Social Security is calling me at 10:30 tomorrow (Wednesday, January 26.)

In 2020, I reported to them a projected earnings from Doordash of about $10,000 by the end of the year. I ended up grossing just $9,011.53 by 2020’s end. It’s the reason why I got SSI deposits of $340.44/month for all of 2021.

They considered Doordash a form of “Running my own business” AKA “self-employment” so they used a different system of benefits calculations.

Will my SSI get zeroed out? What mitigating factors can I share in that call? (Student loan payments? Fuel, maintenance costs, phone expenses, etc.?)

And what will happen to my Medicaid that I get through the state of Kansas?

I can take on a new premium payment for higher earners to pay towards Medicaid if needed but I should not need to lose my coverage entirely.
