Medicaid Eligibility
To be eligible for Medicaid you must fall under the criteria laid out by each state. Medicaid eligibility requirements include those who are disabled, pregnant, postpartum, those under the age of 19, and anyone who falls under the specified income bracket laid out by the individual state. It depends on how much money you make, how much property you own, your age, and your situation.
Eligibility for Medicaid varies by state, but most applicants generally must meet this criterion to be eligible for Medicaid coverage. A block grant is a noncompetitive, formula grant mandated by the U.S. Congress. Eligible entities must submit an annual application to demonstrate statutory and regulatory compliance to receive the formula-based funding. SAMHSA is responsible for two block grant programs. Block grant grantees use the block grant programs for prevention, treatment, recovery support, and other services to supplement Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance services.
