QUESTION: My children are eligible for Child Health Plus in New York State which is a free health insurance program for children of low-income families. I happen to know that the upper income eligibility limit for a family of four is $126,800 per year. My current salary is just under this limit and my manager has just offered me a raise which will put me over the limit. Since I do not want to give up this family health care benefit, am I permitted to refuse the raise so I can maintain my eligibility?...
