Screening for Eligibility for Medicaid
Expansion/Interested in Advocacy?
Introduction: Under the Affordable Care Act, states have been given the option to expand their
Medicaid programs to cover non-disabled adults without children with incomes up to 138% of
the federal poverty level. We are working to identify people who might potentially qualify for
