Who is eligible for Medicaid services in Florida?
To receive federal Medicaid funds, Florida must adhere to federal requirements related to recipient eligibility. For example, as required by federal guidelines, Florida provides health care coverage to low-income single parents and their children who receive cash assistance, children in foster care, and low-income elderly, blind, or disabled recipients. In addition to the mandatory eligibility groups, Florida also has expanded Medicaid coverage to include several additional groups.
