HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION

Description: Household composition is defined as the individuals included in the Medicaid household. Certain individuals are required to be included in the Medicaid household whether or not they are applying for Medicaid (i.e., LRRs living in the household). The household composition varies depending on the category of the individuals for whom eligibility is being determined.

Policy: Medicaid may be given to an otherwise eligible individual, household, or a portion of the applying household. A Medicaid household’s size determines which income and resource, as appropriate, levels are used in the determination of eligibility.
