What is the maximum income for Medicaid eligibility?

Federal Medicaid is available for individuals and families with incomes up to 133 percent of the current federal poverty level, but applicants may need to meet additional requirements for eligibility as well, according to Medicaid.gov. States participating in Medicaid must cover some population groups under federal law, and many states also offer their own medical assistance programs for low-income families and other population groups. Each state has its own set of eligibility requirements.

While applicants must meet the income requirements for Medicaid eligibility, they must also meet other federal and state eligibility criteria, such as immigration status and residency, as stated on Medicaid.gov. Applicants can learn more about their state's eligibility requirements and the application process at Healthcare.gov.
