Medicaid Enrollment
Medicaid eligibility varies by state. Each state sets their own requirements within federally set parameters. Medicaid has income and asset limits. Generally speaking, in 2022, the individual income limit to be eligible for Medicaid is $2,523 per month, and the asset limit is $2,000. There are variations based on the state that you reside in. Medicaid applicants must also have a functional need for care.
You may find it helpful to take a non-binding Medicaid eligibility test.
You can complete a Medicaid enrollment application in person, by phone, or online. You'll need to contact your state Medicaid agency. You can also fill out an application through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
