NEW HealthCare For more families!

Begins July 1, 2008!

Families will be able to apply by mail, fax, online, or can call 1-800-456-8900 to request an application. 

Depending on the size of your family and your annual income, you may be able to get full health care benefits.  If your income is below the amounts listed in the income eligibility chart, you may be able to get Medical Assistance for Families.  For example, a family with three members in the household and an income below $20,500 annually can now get health care coverage.  These are estimates only – if your income is slightly higher, you may still able to get Medical Assistance for Families and should apply.
