This fact sheet provides Medicaid and CHIP eligibility levels for children, pregnant women, parents, and other non-disabled adults as of January 2018, based on annual state survey data. The data highlight the central role Medicaid and CHIP play in covering low-income children and pregnant women and show Medicaid’s expanded role for low-income adults under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). See Tables 1-3 for state-specific data.

As of January 2018, 49 states cover children with incomes up to at least 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL, $41,560 per year for a family of three in 2018) through Medicaid and CHIP (Figure 1, Table 1 and 1A). This count includes 19 states that cover children with incomes at or above 300% FPL. Only two states (ID and ND) limit children’s eligibility to below 200% FPL. Across states, the upper Medicaid/CHIP eligibility limit for children ranges from 175% FPL in North Dakota to 405% FPL.

Figure 1: Income Eligibility Levels for Children in Medicaid/CHIP, January 2018

Most states extend coverage to pregnant women beyond the federal minimum of 138% FPL through Medicaid and CHIP. As of January 2018, 34 states cover pregnant women with incomes at or above 200% FPL ($41,560 per year for a family of three in 2018), including 12 states (including DC) that cover pregnant women with family incomes above 250% FPL. Five states extend coverage for pregnant women through CHIP and 16 states use CHIP funding to provide coverage through the unborn child option, under which states cover income-eligible pregnant women regardless of immigration status (Figure 2, Table 2).

Figure 2: Income Eligibility Levels for Pregnant Women in Medicaid/CHIP, January 2018

As of January 2018, 32 states cover parents and other adults with incomes up to 138% FPL ($28,676 per year for a family of three and $16,753 per year for an individual in 2018) under the ACA Medicaid expansion to low-income adults (Figures 3 and 4, Table 3). The District of Columbia extends eligibility beyond the expansion limit to parents with incomes up to 221% FPL and other adults with incomes up to 215%, and Alaska covers parents with incomes up to 139% FPL.

Figure 3: Medicaid Income Eligibility Levels for Parents, January 2018

Figure 4: Medicaid Income Eligibility Levels for Other Adults, January 2018

In the 19 states that have not expanded Medicaid, the median eligibility limit for parents is 43% FPL ($8,935 per year for a family of three in 2018) and other adults remain ineligible, except in Wisconsin (Figure 5). In 11 of these states, parent eligibility is at less than half of the poverty level, and only two of these states (ME and WI) cover parents at or above poverty. Wisconsin is the only non-expansion state that provides full Medicaid coverage to other adults, although eligibility at 100% FPL remains below the expansion level and the state does not receive the enhanced match available for expansion adults for this coverage. In the non-expansion states, 2.4 million adults with incomes above the Medicaid eligibility limit but below poverty fall into a coverage gap; they are ineligible for Medicaid and do not qualify for subsidies for Marketplace coverage, which become available at 100% FPL.

Figure 5: Medicaid Income Eligibility Limits for Adults in States that Have Not Implemented the Medicaid Expansion, January 2018

In sum, Medicaid and CHIP continue to be central sources of coverage for the low-income population, but eligibility varies widely across groups and states. Medicaid and CHIP provide a base of coverage to low-income children and pregnant women nationwide. Eligibility for adults has grown in states that implemented the Medicaid expansion, but remains limited in states that have not expanded. There could be continued gains in eligibility for adults if additional states expand Medicaid, which would reduce the number of poor uninsured adults that fall into the coverage gap. However, states moving forward with expansion may seek waivers to add requirements or restrictions for adults as a condition of expanding.

Table presents rules in effect as of January 1, 2018.

Table 1 and Table 1A Notes

  1. January 2018 income limits reflect Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI)-converted income standards and include a disregard equal to five percentage points of the federal poverty level (FPL) applied at the highest income level for Medicaid and separate CHIP coverage. Eligibility levels are reported as percentage of the FPL. The 2018 FPL for a family of three was $20,780.
  2. States may use Title XXI CHIP funds to cover children through CHIP-funded Medicaid expansion programs and/or separate child health insurance programs for children not eligible for Medicaid. Use of Title XXI CHIP funds is limited to uninsured children. The Medicaid income eligibility levels listed indicate thresholds for children covered with Title XIX Medicaid funds and uninsured children covered with Title XXI funds through CHIP-funded Medicaid expansion programs. To be eligible in the infant category, a child has not yet reached his or her first birthday; to be eligible in the 1-5 category, the child is age one or older, but has not yet reached his or her sixth birthday; and to be eligible in the 6-18 category, the child is age six or older, but has not yet reached his or her 19th
  3. The states noted use federal CHIP funds to operate separate child health insurance programs for children not eligible for Medicaid. Such programs may either provide benefits similar to Medicaid or a somewhat more limited benefit package. They also may impose premiums or other cost sharing obligations on some or all families with eligible children. These programs typically provide coverage for uninsured children until the child’s 19th birthday.
  4. Medians for CHIP-funded uninsured children are based on the upper limit of coverage.
  5. Alabama, the District of Columbia, Oklahoma, and Tennessee have different lower bounds for adolescents in Title XXI funded Medicaid expansions depending on age. The lower bound for Title XXI funded Medicaid is 18% for children ages 14 through 18 in Alabama, 63% for children ages 15 through 18 in the District of Columbia, 69% for children ages 14 through 18 in Oklahoma, and 29% for children ages 14 through 18 in Tennessee.
  6. In California, children with higher incomes are eligible for separate CHIP coverage in certain counties.
  7. In Florida, all infants are covered in Medicaid. Florida operates three separate CHIP programs: Healthy Kids covers children ages 5 through 18; MediKids covers children ages 1 through 4; and the Children’s Medical Service Network serves children with special health care needs from birth through age 18.
  8. In Illinois, infants born to non-Medicaid covered mothers are covered up to 147% FPL in Medicaid and up to 318% FPL under CHIP.
  9. Indiana uses a state-specific income disregard that is equal to five percent of the highest income eligibility threshold for the group.
  10. Kansas covers children in a separate CHIP program at a dollar-based income level equal to 238% FPL in 2008. As a result, the equivalent FPL level may erode over time although it was increased in 2014 to account for the MAGI conversion and includes the five percentage point disregard required under MAGI.
  11. Massachusetts also covers insured children in its separate CHIP program with Title XIX Medicaid funds under its Section 1115 waiver.
  12. In Minnesota, the infant category under Title XIX-funded Medicaid includes insured and uninsured children up to age two with incomes up to 275% FPL
  13. In North Carolina, all children ages 0 through 5 are covered in Medicaid while the separate CHIP program covers children ages 6 through 18 with incomes above Medicaid limits.
  14. Oklahoma offers a premium assistance program to children ages 0 through 18 with income up to 222% FPL with access to employer sponsored insurance through its Insure Oklahoma program.
  15. In Tennessee, Title XXI funds are used for two programs, TennCare Standard and CoverKids (a separate CHIP program). TennCare Standard provides Medicaid coverage to uninsured children who lose eligibility under TennCare (Medicaid), have no access to insurance, and have family income below 216% FPL or are medically eligible.
  16. In Wisconsin, children are not eligible for CHIP if they have access to health insurance coverage through a job where the employer covers at least 80% of the cost.

Table 2 Notes

  1. January 2018 income limits reflect Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI)-converted income standards, and include a disregard equal to five percentage points of the federal poverty level (FPL). As of 2018, the FPL for a family of three was $20,780.

Table 3 Notes

  1. January 2018 income limits reflect Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI)-converted income standards, and include a disregard equal to five percentage points of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) applied to the highest income limit for the group. In some states, eligibility limits for Section 1931 parents are based on a dollar threshold. The values listed represent the truncated FPL equivalents calculated from these dollar limits. Eligibility levels for parents are presented as a percentage of the 2018 FPL for a family of three, which is $20,780. Eligibility limits for other adults are presented as a percentage of the 2018 FPL for an individual, which is $12,140.
  2. Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Montana and New Hampshire implemented the Medicaid expansion under Section 1115 waiver authority.
  3. In 2017, California began using state-only funds to cover otherwise eligible adults regardless of immigration status.
  4. Connecticut decreased eligibility for parents and caretaker relatives as of January 1, 2018.
  5. The District of Columbia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, and Pennsylvania cover some income-eligible adults who are not otherwise eligible due to immigration status using state-only funds. Oregon began providing reproductive health benefits regardless of immigration status as of January 1, 2018.
  6. Parents have been covered in Illinois in an optional group under Title XIX up to 133% FPL from July 2012 to January 2014.
  7. Indiana uses a state-specific income disregard that is equal to five percent of the highest income eligibility threshold for the group.
  8. Maine has passed a ballot initiative to expand Medicaid but it had not yet been implemented as of January 2018.
  9. Massachusetts provides subsidies for Marketplace coverage for parents and childless adults with incomes up to 300% through its Connector Care program. The state’s Section 1115 waiver also authorizes MassHealth coverage for HIV-positive individuals with incomes up to 200% FPL, uninsured individuals with breast or cervical cancer with incomes up to 250% FPL, and individuals who work for a small employer and purchase employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) with incomes up to 300% FPL, as well as coverage through MassHealth CommonHealth for adults with disabilities with no income limit, provided that they have either met a one-time deductible or are working disabled adults.
  10. Minnesota and New York have implemented Basic Health Programs (BHPs) established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for adults with incomes between 138%-200% FPL.
  11. In Oklahoma, individuals without a qualifying employer with incomes up to 100% FPL are eligible for more limited subsidized insurance though the Insure Oklahoma Section 1115 waiver program. Individuals working for certain qualified employers with incomes at or below 222% FPL are eligible for premium assistance for employer-sponsored insurance.
  12. In Texas, the income limit for parents and other caretaker relatives is based on monthly dollar amounts which differ depending on family size and whether there is one or two-parents in the family. The eligibility level shown is for a single parent household and a family size of three.
  13. In 2017, Utah increased eligibility for parents from 45% to 60% FPL, including the 5 percentage point disregard, and changed parent eligibility from a dollar to FPL based threshold. In 2017, Utah also received waiver approval and is covering childless adults with incomes up to 5% FPL who are chronically homeless or in need of behavioral health treatment as of January 2018. Adults with incomes up to 100% FPL continue to be eligible for coverage of primary care services under the Primary Care Network Section 1115 waiver program in Utah. Enrollment is opened periodically when there is capacity to accept new enrollees.
  14. Vermont also provides a 1.5% reduction in the federal applicable percentage of the share of premium costs for individuals who qualify for advance premium tax credits to purchase Marketplace coverage with income up to 300% FPL.
  15. In Virginia, eligibility levels for 1931 parents vary by region. The value shown is the eligibility level for Region 2, the most populous region.
  16. Wisconsin covers adults up to 100% FPL in Medicaid but did not adopt the ACA Medicaid expansion.
