Medicaid for Young Adults
15 articles
Medicaid coverage changes when you turn 19 or leave your parents' plan, and the rules vary depending on where you live and your income. This section covers what happens to your health insurance during the transition to adulthood—whether you're aging out of your parents' coverage, starting your first job, going to college, or managing a health condition on your own for the first time.
The articles here explain how Medicaid works for young adults, what income and household situations might make you may be able to access, how to look for coverage in your state, and what to do if your circumstances change. You'll also find information about keeping coverage continuous and understanding how work or school affects your health insurance options.
