Is it true that an individual must meet MAGI requirements to qualify for ABD Medicaid?

The eligibility for ABD (Aged, Blind, and Disabled) Medicaid is not dependent on Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) requirements. Unlike other Medicaid programs, notably the ones for children and pregnant women, ABD Medicaid has its own set of criteria for qualification that primarily focuses on the individual's disability status, age, or blindness rather than income calculated under MAGI guidelines.

Individuals applying for ABD Medicaid must typically demonstrate they meet certain income and asset limits, but these are not calculated using MAGI. Instead, the criteria often take into account other income calculations or standards set forth by the specific Medicaid program for the aged, blind, and disabled populations.

Therefore, stating that an individual must meet MAGI requirements to qualify for ABD Medicaid is incorrect. Hence, the response indicating that this statement is false is accurate.
