Qualifying for Medicaid is based on 2 things; low income and high care needs.

• In some situations you may need a determination of disability or be at least 65 years of age.
• Your income must fall within certain limits. Some income may not count toward the income limit if certain requirements are met.
• You may be required to contribute some of your income toward the cost of your care.
• The value of your resources cannot exceed certain limits in some situations.
• You may be penalized if you transfer assets to qualify for Medicaid in some situations. You also cannot have transferred any assets in the 60-month period before you apply. An example could be transferring the title of your home to your child.
• You must require a certain level of help with activities of daily living (ADLs) in order to get long-term services through Medicaid.
