Do you qualify for Medicaid?

To qualify for Medicaid, you must meet certain state-specific requirements. You may qualify for free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid based on your income (based on the Federal Poverty Level guidelines), family size and age.

Find out if you may qualify for Medicaid by selecting your state below, and visiting the Qualify and Apply page.

Keep your Medicaid coverage

Every year your state checks to see if you still qualify for Medicaid benefits. This process is called Medicaid renewal, redetermination, or recertification.

Make sure you understand how Medicaid renewal works so you can avoid having a gap in your coverage.
