Anyone else set to lose their SNAP or Medicaid, because of the federal changes?

I've been surviving on SNAP and Medicaid this year, while I've been out of work due to illness.

I have medical conditions and they still cut me off of my SNAP, starting this month. Didn't even ask for medical documentation beforehand. Just kicked me and didn't give any advice for reapplying or anything. My partner, who is on SSDI, applied to see if they would at least give some SNAP assistance to him, because we are NOT surviving and we don't know what to do except to keep applying for help.

I'm terrified that they will do the same thing to my Medicaid in January. I take five medications a day and need to be able to see my psych, cardiologist, and neurologist. I don't want to deal with the hassle of getting kicked off my insurance and having to reapply, possibly with long wait times because everyone else will also be trying to keep their Medicaid coverage. I can't find any way to submit medical documentation to my state (New York) before the rules change over in January. I really don't know what to do. Please help.
