I am currently pregnant, I have a daughter already. Before you judge I was on birth control that failed. I applied for medicaid and told them that I was married and I still got approved. I am currently on food stamps, we would be over the limit by a little less than a $100. I didn't report to them that I was married. (If we didn't have food stamps, we would struggle to eat every month) Do medicaid and food stamps report to each other, will they find out that I am married and cut my food stamps down or completely off?

Medicaid and food stamps(snap) will eventually cross paths. I would continue to do what you're doing. I would also look into a program called WIC(women, infant, and children). that program is specifically designed for your situation. sorry I don't have more information, but these are done on a case by case basis.
In the United States, there are two distinct government assistance programs: Medicaid and Food Stamps, which are also referred to as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). A brief description of each follows:
Medicaid: Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that covers low-income people and their families' healthcare costs. It is primarily intended for low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults, people with disabilities, and people with limited resources. Preventive care, lab tests, prescription drugs, and doctor visits are just a few of the many medical services that Medicaid covers. The income, size of the household, and other factors are used to determine who is eligible for Medicaid in each state.
SNAP (food stamps): The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), more commonly referred to as food stamps, is a federal assistance program that assists low-income individuals and families in obtaining access to healthy food. SNAP furnishes qualified people with an Electronic Advantage Move (EBT) card, which can be utilized to buy food things at approved retailers, including supermarkets and ranchers markets. How much help gave through still up in the air by variables, for example, pay, family size, and costs. The program plans to diminish hunger and further develop nourishment among low-pay people.
