Tip 3 - Texas Medicaid: eligibility, enrollment and benefits

Texas has not expanded Medicaid under the ACA. And they also have the most stringent eligibility guidelines in the country for non-disabled adults. As a result, Texas has the biggest coverage gap in the country, with more than a million residents ineligible for Medicaid and also ineligible for premium subsidies to offset the cost of private coverage in the exchange.

Tip 4 - Medicaid Eligibility for Adults as of January 1, 2014

Regardless of state Medicaid expansion decisions, all states must implement new eligibility and enrollment processes, including a transition to determine income eligibility for most groups based on Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI). As part of the transition to MAGI, states’ existing Medicaid income limits for children, pregnant women, parents, and childless adults will be converted to MAGI-equivalent limits. This fact sheet provides Medicaid income limits for parents and childless adults as of January 2013, and the new income limits that will be in effect as of January 1, 2014.
