Q) What requirements do i need to meet too qualify for medicaid ?
A) The requirements to qualify for Medicaid may vary depending on the state you live in, as each state has its own rules and guidelines. However, in general, Medicaid is typically available to low-income individuals and families, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities.
To be eligible for Medicaid, you must meet certain income and resource limits, which are typically based on the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) for your household size. In addition, you must be a U.S. citizen or have legal immigration status, and be a resident of the state in which you are applying for Medicaid.
It’s important to note that some states have expanded Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which allows individuals and families with slightly higher incomes to qualify. You can check your state’s Medicaid website or contact your local Medicaid office for more specific information about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Each state governs their own medicaid program and so the need for your husband’s nursing facility services is defined by your state. All states have their own established Nursing Facility level of care criteria. Please call or visit your state medicaid office and fill out an application for your husband. You may also be able to fill out this application on your State medicaid or social service website. According the medicaid.gov website – Individuals with serious mental illness or intellectual disability must be evaluated by the state’s Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review program to determine if nursing Facility admission is needed and appropriate. https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/spousal-impoverishment/index.html
