How bad is this?

I applied for medicaid when I was pregnant in 2023 and when I did my recertification this year I noticed my tips were missing from my income. I thought everything was correct this whole time and am now completely losing my mind for fear I am in trouble. Ive had really bad pregnancy /postpartum anxiety and discovering this has completely wrecked my brain. From what I've been able to find ,it looks like I should have been put on chip pregnancy instead of medicaid. I would have been eligible for medicaid by December that year and that's the month my daughter was born. How bad is this? Does being eligible for chip make it better at all? It seems the chip coverage for pregnancy wouldn't have had any co pays or anything but I don't know much about either program except what I've been trying to find out now to see if I can resolve this in anyway. I have already called them and updated my income so everything is correct but I am terrified I am going to go to jail for this, my daughter needs me and I feel terrible that I could have ruined our lives from a stupid mistake.
