What are the requirements for Medicaid


 Medicaid requirements can vary by state, but generally include the following:


1. Income Limits: Applicants must have a household income below a certain threshold, which varies by state and family size.

2. Asset Limits: Many states have restrictions on the amount of assets an individual can have while still qualifying for Medicaid.

3. Categorical Eligibility: Applicants usually must belong to specific groups, such as low-income families, pregnant women, children, elderly individuals, or people with disabilities.

4. Residency: Applicants must be residents of the state in which they are applying for Medicaid.

5. Citizenship or Immigration Status: Most applicants must be U.S. citizens or meet specific immigration criteria.

6. Other Criteria: Some states may have additional requirements, such as health needs or requiring a level of care.


For precise eligibility criteria, it’s best to consult your state’s Medicaid program.
