No. Alaska is an SSI criteria state, so people on SSI must still apply for Medicaid with the Division of Public Assistance.

Medicaid covers people who are elderly, blind or permanently disabled, and the Application for Services also covers Adult Public Assistance and Long-Term Care Medicaid. People who need waiver services apply for Medicaid with the Division of Public Assistance.

For children: TEFRA (Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act). A child with a disability can get Medicaid even if the family earns too much. A care coordinator can help you apply.

If you work: Working Disabled Medicaid Buy-In. Working people with disabilities can buy into Medicaid. Ask the Division of Public Assistance how to apply.

Steps

  1. Go to the Alaska Connect portal and start the Application for Services.
  2. Pick Medicaid (Aged, Blind and Disabled) or Long-Term Care if you have a disability or need waiver services.
  3. Upload your documents, such as pay stubs and ID, with the application.
  4. If you cannot apply online, call the Virtual Contact Center at 1-800-478-7778 or visit a local office.
