B-3200, Application Requirements
Revision 24-4; Effective Dec. 1, 2024
Federal law requires allowing anyone wanting to apply for a Medicaid program be allowed to file an application immediately, regardless of the person's ultimate eligibility for assistance.
An application form must be mailed within two working days from the receipt of the request for an application.
Applications can be submitted through any of the following channels:
online through YourTexasBenefits.com;
in the local office;
by mail, fax or phone
Use an application form to test eligibility for all Medicaid programs when a person meets the criteria. A separate application form is not required for each of the different Medicaid programs for the elderly and people with disabilities.
Consider the application complete with a name, address and signature.
