When filling out a Medicaid application it is in the best interest of the individual to be able to provide as much information as possible in order to establish eligibility. By law, states have 45 days to process all Medicaid applications, and as much as 90 days for applications involving disabled individuals.
If there are no pending eligibility questions on your claim, we will generally determine your entitlement within 7 days of your filing of the initial claim, and benefit checks are usually mailed within 7 days after a completed weekly claim has been received. See also information about the waiting week. NOTE: Beginning July 18, 2013, if you file a new claim or re-open a current but inactive claim, you can receive payment either by direct deposit or Visa pre-paid debit card. See payment method options for more information.
