Failure to Report Assets and Income to Medicaid Ohio – What to do?

Hello,

My cousin started a little business that he has made $16,800 with so far. He’s 20 and this is his only source of income. He is on Medicaid Ohio.

In April 2021, he started making money. He made maybe $1,900? Then May made like $3,000. Then months with $0 of income and on October 17th, 2021 he got a check for $9,000. Then a check for $2,800. This equals $16,700.

He hasn’t reported anything because he’s still under that $17,100 a year threshold..

However, he’s had more than $2,000 in the bank since April, mostly because of an IRS refund for the stimulus checks and then this $9,000 check.

Is this okay? Does he report it now even though he’s still under the $17k threshold?

With the PHE in place and nobody losing Medicaid, could he risk getting in trouble or could it kind of act as a safety net since he honestly didn’t know?

He hasn’t had any medical attention since 2020 so that’s good I suppose…

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! He’s horrified he’ll be forced to repay premiums or be prosecuted.
