My friend is unemployed and has cancer. is she eligible for medicaid?

Medicaid: Being unemployed will help but most states will look at your total assets as well...Does she own a house and a car? That sort of thing.Many states have a length of time the individual has been unemployed as well.Some states also take into consideration the income of those people you are living with weather they share or not!you won't know until you try!

Each state deals: With this differently. Unfortunately, there may asset checks and if she has too many may need to spend down to become eligible. Michigan has a process that allows most to qualify for 'caid with ca diagnosis. Do not delay getting started; paper takes a while.
