Eligibility requirements for Michigan’s Medicaid program include age and financial restrictions. When applying on the basis of age, only those aged 65 and older who are full-time residents of Michigan and who have permanent or legal citizenship qualify for general Medicaid.
While regular Medicaid for aged, blind or disabled applicants requires a maximum income of $1,133 per month or $13,596 per year, the MI waiver income limit is slightly higher at $2,742 per month or $32,904 per year. Seniors may not own more than $2,000 in assets, with the exception of their home and any other exempt assets.
