Medicaid is governed by Federal regulations that require, in general, US citizenship (certain categories of legal aliens are also eligible), limited income and assets, and either over age 65, under age 18, or "totally and permanently disabled" as defined by Social Security regulations.
Persons under age 18 whose family income exceeds Medicaid standards may be eligible for the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Medicaid eligibility requirements vary somewhat among States. However, in general, Medicaid provides care for indigent citizens under age 18 and their parents, persons over age 65, and those permanently and totally disabled. Medicaid is supervised by the Federal government, administered by the States, and funded by State and Federal taxes. [N.b., as a result of health insurance reform, by 2014 Medicaid will be available to any indigent citizen, regardless of age or disability.]
Requirements to qualify for Medicaid may vary by state; typically one must be under 18 or over 65, meet income limitations, have applied for other forms of assistance, and usually have a verified disability. One must provide a social security number, proof of disability, proof of income, and proof of citizenship.
They vary by state; check with your state's medicaid or social service division.
