Yes, you are correct. Medicaid eligibility is determined by the state of residence. Each state has the authority to establish its own specific eligibility criteria, within certain federal guidelines, and they can vary from state to state. While the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administers the Medicaid program at the federal level, they delegate program administration and eligibility determination to the individual states. This is why you found that different states have different qualifications for Medicaid. It is important to note that while the federal government provides some basic requirements, states have the flexibility to expand eligibility criteria based on their unique needs and priorities.
