My boyfriend just moved to Massachusetts, he has a mass ID now and is a Mass Resident. He is in the process of getting a job (has a couple of interviews and such). but at the moment he doesn’t have one. We both have gotten sick, I went to the ER and found out I Have bronchitis. I didn’t have insurance yet either, so they had me meet with a financial counselor the next morning and she had me fill out my mass health forms, told me I would get Mass Safety Net which would pay for most or all of that ER visit and everything else. But I had a job so I was able to give them my paystubs. Anyways, I am reading online that he most likely wouldn’t be eligible because he doesn’t have a job and had worked in the past 12 months.
He is pretty sure he got one of the jobs he went in for, but he won’t be receiving paystubs from them for a couple weeks.
I guess what I’m asking is. if he goes to the ER (he has been miserable for days now) and they have him apply to masshealth, does he need to have paystubs right away for them? I don’t want his application to go in and say he doesn’t have a job,…and then by the time mass health reviews it finds out that he just infact got a job.

sorry for the rambeling, I hope what I’m asking makes sense.
