How Women Can Qualify For Alabama Medicaid During Pregnancy?

• You must be either a U.S citizen or in satisfactory immigration status
• Meet income guidelines
• All income of the people in the “family size”, is included

If the income of the parents is included and the income guidelines are met, pregnant women younger than 19 years old may be eligible for full Medicaid coverage. Additionally, if pregnant women meet the income guidelines, they will be eligible for full Medicaid coverage.

How is Household Income Calculated? 

Household income is the total MAGI-based income for all household members. The household income will equal the MAGI for all household members, regardless of whether they have filed taxes.

How is Family Size Determined? 

The family size refers to the number of people included in an individual’s household. Then the household size is calculated by adding the individuals on the family’s federal income tax return. However, family size is determined by the number of individuals who are expected to claim federal income tax returns.
