The Medicare Cost Sharing Programs income limits are for a single person (household size 1) or a married couple (household size 2). These programs provide an income deduction for dependent children. For S.O.B.R.A., adult's income is redistributed among the adult and his or her spouse and children. S.O.B.R.A. programs do not count siblings when determining children's eligibility or children's when determining the parents' eligibility. Therefore a S.O.B.R.A. child's household never has more than three members. For S.O.B.R.A. pregnant women, each expected baby is added to the household size. Freedom to Work counts only the applicant's earned income. The M.E.D. program reviews three months of income at the monthly amount above. Members are responsible to pay medical expenses deducted to become eligible KidsCare and HIFA Parents always* require payment of a monthly premium and Freedom to Work sometimes requires payment of a monthly premium.
*KidsCare and HIFA Parent premiums are not required for Native Americans
"Most programs" Include S.O.B.R.A. Children age 6 and over, SSI-MAO, AHCCCS for Families and Children, AHCCCS Care and Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB). All programs allow certain deductions and/or disregards. These vary by program. All programs also have other requirements that vary by program. All programs require United States Citizenship or Eligible Immigrant status and a Social Security Number to be eligible for full coverage. Emergency coverage may be available to immigrants who do not meet the requirements. Family members who do not want AHCCCS Health Insurance are not required to provide information about citizenship, immigration status or Social Security Number. Income limits are subject to change
