To qualify, applicants must be aged 65 or older&nbsp;— or blind or disabled if aged 64 or younger — and American citizens or legal immigrants.&nbsp;Biloxi&nbsp;residents who successfully apply for <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Supplemental Security Income</a>&nbsp;benefits are automatically enrolled in Medicaid.
