Income and Resource Levels are subject to yearly
adjustments.
You may also own a home, a car, and personal property and
still be eligible. The income and resources of legally
responsible relatives in the household will also be counted.
Can I be eligible for Medicaid even if I
make more money than the chart shows?
Yes, some people can. Pregnant women and children can have
higher income levels and no resource limits.
Pregnant women, children, disabled persons, and others may
also be eligible for Medicaid if their income and/or resources
are above these levels and they have medical bills. Ask your
Medicaid worker if you fit into one of these groups.
