MEDICAID

Apply for Benefits

Beginning December 2013, more Ohioans will be able to apply for Medicaid benefits online at www.Benefits.Ohio.gov. As a result of the decision to expand health care access, adults with income up to 138 percent of poverty may now apply for Medicaid coverage through the website. The chart on the right side shows income eligibility limits for different household sizes.

Thanks to your advocacy, roughly 366,000 Ohioans are now eligible for health care coverage under the Medicaid expansion beginning on January 1, 2014.

The new online enrollment options are part of a new eligibility system that Ohio launched on October 1, 2013. Ohio Benefitsis a simple, self-service website that makes it easier for Ohioans to learn what type of health care coverage may be available to them. Click on the following links for more details:
