Income Limits to apply for services through the Division of Medicaid and Medical Assistance
The Division of Medicaid and Medical Assistance (DMMA) most commonly sets income criteria using the following benchmarks:
Federal Poverty Level (FPL) Tables
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Financial eligibility is not the same for every DMMA program, so it is important to check the requirements for a specific program or service. However, the following tables may help you determine where your family is, in relation to these benchmarks.
