Who Can Apply for Medicaid
Medicaid is a state administered program available to certain low-income individuals and families. Each state sets its own guidelines regarding Medicaid eligibility and services, but in general, people who match one of these descriptions may be eligible:
- Aged (65 years old or older), blind, or disabled and have limited income and resources
- Terminally ill and want to get hospice services
- Aged, blind, or disabled; live in a nursing home; and have limited income and resources
- Aged, blind, or disabled and need nursing home care, but can stay at home with special community care services
- Eligible for Medicare and have limited income and resources
- The parent or guardian of a child who is 18 years old or younger and your family's income is limited, or if your child is sick enough to need nursing home care, but could stay home with good quality care at home
- Facing very high medical bills, which you cannot pay (and you are pregnant, under age 18 or over age 65, blind, or disabled)
Even if you are not sure whether you qualify, if you or someone in your family needs health care, you should apply for Medicaid and have a qualified caseworker in your state evaluate your financial situation.
