Medicaid is the national program that provides basic health care coverage to children, adults and seniors who would otherwise not be able to afford health services. Medicaid is funded by the federal and state governments, and services include emergency, acute and long-term care. In Ohio the Medicaid program is administered by the Ohio Department of Medicaid. Seniors aged 65 and older who earn no more than $2,313 per month, or $4,626 per couple, may qualify for free Medicaid coverage. Medicaid applicants must also meet asset or resource limits of $2,000 per individual and $3,000 per couple when both spouses are seeking Medicaid coverage. Some assets are exempt, including one vehicle, a burial trust worth up to $1,500 and a home, valued at no more than $585,000, in which the applicant lives. For more information, contact the Ohio Medicaid Consumer Hotline at (800) 324-8680. Ohio Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver Program Seniors who qualify for free Medicaid coverage and meet the criteria for nursing home placement may be eligible for enrollment in the Ohio Assisted Living Medicaid waiver program. The ALW is designed to help seniors age in place in their communities rather than a nursing home. Under the ALW seniors may be provided with a variety of services designed to support their safety and wellness within an assisted living setting, such as:
Optional State Supplementation Medicaid-eligible seniors who receive Supplemental Security Income benefits and reside in an assisted living facility because they’re unable to live on their own may qualify for additional state-funded cash benefits through the Ohio Optional State Supplementation program. Individual seniors may be eligible for up to $1,280 in combined SSI/OSS benefits monthly, while couples may be eligible for up to $2,370. For more information on Ohio’s OSS, contact the Akron Social Security office at (800) 772-1213.
