ABD Medicaid is for adults 65 and older or anyone who is disabled according to Social Security. The ABD Medicaid program is an income and resource based program. In some cases people can "spend down" (decided by the household income) their income to receive Medicaid by using paid or billed medical expenses. Spend Down Medicaid is for ABD persons who meet the Medicaid eligibility guidelines but their income is too high. Eligibility for each month is determined by the date the spend down is met.
Medicare eligible people may qualify to have their Medicare premium paid each month through other Medicaid programs. To print an application please click here.
