For example, most states provide Medicaid to anyone who is receiving benefits under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. A number of states provide Medicaid to aged or disabled persons with income that is below 100 percent of the federal poverty level ($931 a month for an individual in 2012). For the most part, to be eligible for Medicaid you must be one of the following: 1  Be age 65 or older. 2  Have a permanent disability as that term is defined by the Social Security Administration. 3  Be blind. 4  Be a pregnant woman. 5  Be a child, or the parent or caretaker of a child.
