Is It Difficult to Qualify for Medicaid?
Although each state has its own eligibility requirements, all states use an income and asset test when determining eligibility. Aside from proving citizenship (or another legal status) and residency, this means you will need to demonstrate that your income and “countable resources” do not exceed the program limits – and those limits are very low. This can be a problem for those who failed to anticipate the need to qualify for Medicaid in the future.
