46. Medicaid eligibility varies state to state

up until now in Kentucky you must have dependent children in the home, be pregnant or be 65 or older, blind or disabled in the case of adult Medicaid. In addition to that there are numerous other criteria that must be met including deprivation of children in the home and relationship of family members. Expanded Medicaid as in the case here in Kentucky removed many of the old criteria but still has very strict income limits. The criteria for Medicaid programs is complex and each state has it's own eligibility criteria. I'm a Medicaid caseworker in Louisville. I'm not sure about the criteria in the state effecting the example in the OP. To be honest we have only just had our training on the HBE and Kynect interface and application system this week and we still have a lot of questions, particularly what will become of our existing Medicaid programs after Jan.1.
