We built this section, checked the source, and pulled it. The data was eight years old.
The CMS dataset we used publishes state Medicaid thresholds as of 1 April 2018. Several states expanded after that date. Thresholds moved.
Publishing 2018 eligibility figures to someone deciding whether they can afford to stop working would be worse than publishing nothing. So we stopped.
Go straight to the source. Your state Medicaid agency holds the current numbers.
| What you want | Where it lives |
|---|---|
| Medicaid and marketplace cover before 65 | healthcare.gov |
| Social Security, claiming from 62 | ssa.gov |
| Medicare enrolment windows | medicare.gov |
| Help paying the Part B premium | Ask your state agency about Medicare Savings Programs |
| Help paying for drugs | Extra Help, via ssa.gov |
The last two get missed most. Both pay real money. Both need an application nobody sends you.
When we find a current source we can cite and date. Not before.
