I live in America and I've been on the unemployed/low-employment medicaid insurance for most of the year. I lost my job near the beginning of lockdown and forgot to report the change for a couple weeks. Despite this, I've been doing food delivery like Doordash and Grubhub making roughly the same if slightly less than I was at my previous job.

Well, I've been petrified to report that change and now it's been months. My situation hasn't changed. I was planning on having a full time job months ago and still occasionally get interviews.

I'm so fucking petrified that I could be run down for a felony and utterly destroy the final shred of hope for a normal, if even happy, life. I feel like an anxiety attack is coming but even if it does it'll just make things worse.

Am I fucked?

    I live in America; this doesn't seem like that big of a deal.
    You were/are on Medicaid and lost your job, then started working other jobs making roughly the same income.
    Medicaid eligibility should be based on income not job description.
    I would notify DHHS of your status, if they ask why there is a discrepancy tell them you were real sick for 2-3 weeks.
