Understanding Medicaid

By understanding the specific qualifications for Medicaid and what it entails, you can navigate the application process more effectively and secure the healthcare coverage you need. Medicaid is a lifeline for many families, ensuring that they have access to essential healthcare services. Financial barriers often prevent access to medical services, leaving many individuals and families without the care they need. This joint federal and state program works to bridge the gap by providing healthcare services to millions of low-income Americans.

Do you qualify for Medicaid?

To be eligible for Medicaid, individuals must meet the following required criteria.

• Income Limits: Medicaid eligibility is often determined by the individual’s or family’s income level. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded Medicaid eligibility, which resulted in more low-income individuals and families eligible for coverage.
• Household Size: The size of your household is a key factor in determining whether you qualify for Medicaid. In Nebraska, according to benefits.gov, you must have an annual household income that is lower than the following amounts:

1 person	$19,392  (before taxes)
2 people	$26,228  (before taxes)
3 people	$33,064  (before taxes)
4 people	$39,900  (before taxes)
5 people	$46,737  (before taxes)
6 people	$53,573  (before taxes)
7 people	$60,409  (before taxes)
8 people	$67,245  (before taxes)

• Citizenship and Residency: Individuals must be U.S. citizens or qualified non-citizens to enroll in Medicaid. Nebraska requires residency within the state at the time your Medicaid application is submitted.
• Asset Limits: Assets are taken into consideration when determining eligibility. Certain assets, such as your home, motor vehicle, property you use to operate a trade or business, irrevocable burial fund, and resources that do not exceed a certain amount , are not taken into account.

You may qualify for Medicaid if you are:

• 65 years of age or older
• An individual under 65 years of age who has a disability, or is visually impaired according to Social Security guidelines
• An individual 18 years of age or younger
• An adult age 19-64
• A pregnant woman
