Confused about Texas Medicaid eligibility for a family of 3?
My husband and I have a 19 month old child. She qualified for children’s Medicaid, my husband for nothing, and me for Healthy Texas Woman’s insurance. We only make $1400 a month and we didn’t qualify for Medicaid.
We’re on food stamps and WIC and I just got a paper from WIC saying the Medicaid monthly income eligibility limits for a family of 3 with a child age 1-5 years is $3,309. (Effective March 1, 2025)
Yet on this: https://www.hhs.texas.gov/services/health/medicaid-chip/medicaid-chip-programs-services/programs-children-families/medicaid-parents-caretakers it says the maximum monthly income for the same family size is only $251? (Insane)
What the hell is going on? I’m so confused. My husband is self employed and we can’t afford $600+ a month for private insurance off the marketplace.
