Most people will be able to get health care coverage through Medicaid if they meet the criteria below.

  • You live in North Carolina
  • Age 19-64
  • You are a citizen. Some non-US citizens can also get health care coverage through Medicaid.

And if your household income fits within the chart below:

  • Single Adults: $20,120 or less

  • Family of 4 $41,400 or less
  • Family of 5 $48,493 or less
