Doesthisaffectyou Do You Qualify

First: Do You Qualify for Medicaid?

Before work rules apply, you need to qualify for Medicaid in the first place.

Medicaid has income limits. If you make too much money, you do not qualify, even if you want it.

Medicaid is also not available to most people who already have health insurance through their employer.

Not everyone on Medicaid has to follow the new work rules. Use this page to find out if the changes apply to you.
