Yes. Alabama gives Medicaid automatically to people who get SSI, so you do not need a separate Medicaid application.

Programs for people who are aged, blind or disabled include SSI-related Medicaid, Medicaid in a nursing home, hospital or ICF/IID, and home and community waivers. Waiver and nursing home Medicaid use an income limit of $2,982 a month and a $2,000 resource limit. Medicare Savings Programs help pay Medicare costs.

For children: None. We did not find a TEFRA or Katie Beckett option on Alabama Medicaid pages.

If you work: None. Alabama does not have a Medicaid buy-in for working people with disabilities.

Steps

  1. If you have a disability and low income, apply for SSI at Social Security first. SSI brings Medicaid with it.
  2. For children, parents or pregnant people, apply online at Insure Alabama or mail the joint paper application.
  3. For elderly or disabled programs, nursing home care or a waiver, call the Recipient Call Center at 1-800-362-1504 or contact your Medicaid district office.
  4. Mail the application to Medicaid, PO Box 5624, Montgomery, AL 36103-5624, or email it to [email protected].
  5. Watch your mail for a letter that says if you are approved.

Have these ready
