Who is eligible for Medicaid

In general, low-income families are covered by Medicaid. However, even within the low-income, limited-resources group, there are certain requirements set forth by individual states that must be met to qualify for Medicaid. These may include a person’s age, health status (pregnant, disabled, elderly, blind), income and resources (such as bank accounts, real estate property aside from the house of residence or other items that may be put up for sale), and whether or not a person is a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant. Each state has varying rules for counting a person’s income and assets. Additionally, there are particular rules for those residing in nursing homes and disabled children residing at home.
