It's more like, how little do you have to make. That varies among the States.
If your income/assets are below the threshold (typically, 200% of Federal poverty level for a pregnant person), Medicaid should be free. Otherwise, you might owe a "spend down."
Getting a job can impact eligibility for Medicaid because income is a key factor in determining eligibility. If a person's income from their job exceeds the income limits set by Medicaid, they may no longer qualify for the program. It's important to report any changes in income to Medicaid to ensure continued eligibility.
I am 19, married, not pregnant, and our total income for 2013 was $4235. Do I qualify for medicaid?
Social Security benefits (retirement and disability) count as income for Medicaid. However, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) does not count as income for Medicaid.
You may receive Medicaid and Medicare disability at the same time if you meet eligibility factors, principally citizenship and limited income/assets.
No. However, disability income may exceed the standard in the person's State. In such a case, the person will have a spend-down to meet before qualifying for Medicaid.
If the pregnant person is under age 18, yes.
Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) is typically counted as income for the purposes of determining eligibility for Medicaid in Montana. Medicaid is a needs-based program, and the amount of income a person receives can affect their eligibility for the program. However, the specific rules and regulations regarding how SSDI is counted and how it affects Medicaid eligibility can vary, so it is best to check with the Montana Medicaid program for the most up-to-date and accurate information.

If you and your spouse have a child together, you may receive Medicaid as a family if you meet the other eligibility requirements such as citizenship and income. Otherwise, you will have to qualify for Medicaid as an individual.
By law, Medicaid is limited to low-income people.
No it is not income.
Yes. * If you mean can you be eligible Medicaid benefits and have private health insurance that's only possible if the person qualifies under the low-income guidelines and has minor children. Medicaid will pay or help pay insurance premiums under certain circumstances, again the person must meet the low-income requirements and in some cases have dependent minor children.
