@BillM223 yes, I was included as a spouse not a dependent. I do owe the bill, but because i was just made aware of that, it had already been sent to collections and so now I will be contacting them to see if I can set up some sort of payment plan. It was from California Medi-Cal (I had SCFHP). I believe I did get something from the IRS for a possible offset.
The overall debt amount is slightly higher than my husband’s current monthly income, but due to changes he will be getting a significant cut in pay starting next month.
thanks for that side note reminder 😅
