Under the Medicaid expansion, individuals under the age of 65 will qualify for Medicaid if they earn up to 138% of the federal poverty level (FPL). As of May 1, 2024, ten states have not adopted the Medicaid expansion. In these states, childless adults who are not disabled or pregnant are not eligible for Medicaid no matter their income (except for Wisconsin). Moreover, a parent with two children may only earn up to as little as 15 percent FPL in Texas (equivalent to roughly 320 U.S. dollars a month) to be eligible for Medicaid. This statistic displays Medicaid income eligibility limits for adults as a percent of the Federal Poverty Level as of May 1, 2024, by state and parental status.
