Social Security and Medicaid Information
As we move into 2024, understanding the updated income limits for Medicaid in Florida is essential for those seeking assistance. These limits are based on the federal poverty level (FPL) and vary depending on age and household size. Below is an outline of the specific income criteria for various groups, from infants to adults, to provide a clear understanding of the eligibility requirements for this year.
- Children up to 1-year-old: 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL)
- Children ages 1-18: 133% of FPL
- Children under age 19 can qualify for Florida Healthy Kids, with modest monthly premiums, if household income is between 133% and 200% of FPL.
- Pregnant women: 196% of FPL
- Adults with minor children: 26% of FPL
- Individuals who qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) automatically qualify for Medicaid in Florida.
