<prompt> Human: Last year I finished college and wasnt making a lot of money so I applied for medicaid. After submitting all of my documents including my W2 12,000 in 2016 and recent paystubs showing that I made less than 1300month, I was approved.In October of this year, I picked up a lot of overtime in preparation for being out of work for an upcoming surgery and my income for the year shot up to 19,200. This is according to the woman at welfare, because I havent received my 2017 W2 in the mail yet.Most months I was under the limit, but medicaid only looks at the year-to-date in order to calculate how much money you made every month. They said I made an average of 1600month over the course of 12 months.So because I went over, the woman from Welfare called me and told me that Ill have an overpayment of 1,000month to pay Medicaid back and that Ill receive paperwork in the mail.1,000month is literally what I take home every month if Im lucky. I asked her how she expected me to pay that when I need to pay for car insurance, college loans, and now most likely health insurance. She basically said that it wasnt her problem and to wait for paperwork in the mail.I guess its my fault for making more than I should have. I had a lot of medical issues that I needed to take care of, so the medicaid was essential in helping me pay for surgeries, doctors appointments, etc. Even then, there was a lot of money that came out of my pocket because many places dont accept medicaid.Now Im going to have to find a way to pay this money and I have no idea what to do. I probably cant pay what they ask. Am I going to jail?Is there any way for this to be forgiven? Given whats already on my plate, and my emotional and medical problems currently see a psychologist and physical therapist regularly, I have no idea what to do.I havent worked in a month due to my knee surgery and Ill only be working two days a week for the next month or two while I recover. Im in a pickle.Welfare lady also said that my medical coverage will roll over to the affordable care act once my medicaid ends this month.I have no idea whats going on and Im kind of freaking out because my mom is permenantly disabled and makes less money than I do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.Edit 1: Edited for accuracy.  <response>: If you have legal aid free or sliding scale or non-profit that helps people sign up for Medicaid or ACA insurance, call them. They often have experience with this type of thing. Remember to breathe. Control the problem, dont let the problem control you. Love.
