Eligibility for benefits under the Massachusetts Division of Medical Assistance primarily depends on several factors such as income, household size, age, disability status, and specific health care needs. Generally, the Division provides programs for various groups, including low-income families with children, pregnant women, individuals with disabilities, and seniors.
For children, MassHealth offers coverage to those whose families meet the income criteria set by the state. Pregnant women are also eligible for health benefits regardless of their immigration status, as long as they meet certain income guidelines. Individuals over the age of sixty-five may qualify for benefits based on their income and assets.
People with disabilities, who may qualify through either the Social Security Administration or other criteria, can also receive coverage through MassHealth. Additionally, income eligibility limits vary by program, so applicants should be aware of the thresholds relevant to each specific benefit program. For more detailed information about these eligibility requirements, individuals are encouraged to visit the official MassHealth website, which may also provide contact details for more personalized inquiries.
