Only certain immigration statuses qualify an individual to receive Medicaid. In addition, under most immigration statuses, you must be lawfully present in the U.S. for five years (“the five-year bar”) before you are eligible for Medicaid, but a limited number of groups are exempt from the five-year requirement. Children under 21 are not subject to the five-year requirement. Pregnant individuals of any immigration status are eligible for Medicaid.
