Are green card holders (not citizen yet) elligible for medicaid?

Answer 1

I would surly hope NOT, its bad enough that people who get medicaid don't DESERVE it. My husband and I pay 438 a month for health insurance, most of his wages goes for health insurance and dental insurance. Seems like the people who work everyday, and follow the laws GET NOTHING, and the ones who do NOTHING to better themselves get it ALL.....how fair is that

Answer 2

Here's the federal medicaid rule:

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-193)--known as the "welfare reform" bill--made restrictive changes regarding eligibility for SSI coverage that impacted the Medicaid program. For example, legal resident aliens and other qualified aliens who entered the United States on or after August 22, 1996 are ineligible for Medicaid for 5 years. Medicaid coverage for most aliens entering before that date and coverage for those eligible after the 5-year ban are State options; emergency services, however, are mandatory for both of these alien coverage groups. For aliens who lose SSI benefits because of the new restrictions regarding SSI coverage, Medicaid can continue only if these persons can be covered for Medicaid under some other eligibility status (again with the exception of emergency services, which are mandatory). Public Law 104-193 also affected a number of disabled children, who lost SSI as a result of the restrictive changes; however, their eligibility for Medicaid was reinstituted by Public Law 105-33, the BBA.

Individual State rules vary.
