I’m applying for pregnancy Medicaid in Georgia and I have a question about the application process. Do they evaluate assets, or is it solely based on income? My family has around $30,000 in various accounts. Additionally, does Medicaid take the unborn baby into account? We’re a family of four and our income is below $64,000. Thanks for your help!
I’m applying for pregnancy Medicaid in GA, do they look at assets?
In Georgia, the Medicaid program for pregnant individuals generally considers both income and assets, but the specific rules can vary. For pregnant women applying for Medicaid, the primary focus tends to be on household income, which must fall below the state’s established guidelines. As of your mention of a family income under $64,000 for a family of four, you may qualify based on income.
As for assets, Georgia’s Medicaid program for pregnant women does not impose strict asset limits like some other Medicaid programs do. However, including your family’s $30,000 in savings might be taken into consideration if there are additional circumstances.
Regarding the unborn baby, Medicaid does consider the unborn child in terms of eligibility, meaning the baby is counted as part of the family size for income qualifications.
It’s best to contact the Georgia Medicaid program or visit their website for the most accurate and up-to-date information and guidance as you go through the application process. Good luck!
