Medicaid tại Massachusetts: những gì bạn có thể đủ điều kiện nộp đơn

Massachusetts (MassHealth) covers immigrants by group and — unlike California — does NOT give full-scope MassHealth to all adults regardless of status. (1) Pregnant/postpartum — pregnant people in ANY noncitizen group (including undocumented) may get full MassHealth benefits while pregnant and for 12 months postpartum, if otherwise eligible and within financial limits. (2) Children — children under 21 who are Lawfully Present Immigrants or PRUCOL can get comprehensive MassHealth; but children under 19 who are "other noncitizens" (i.e., undocumented) are NOT enrolled in comprehensive MassHealth and instead may get the Children's Medical Security Plan (CMSP), a more limited primary- and preventive-care plan. (3) Adults (19/21-64 and 65+) — comprehensive MassHealth (Standard/CarePlus) requires being a citizen or qualified noncitizen (e.g., a green-card holder past the 5-year bar); undocumented and other non-qualifying adults get only MassHealth Limited (emergency services, including labor and delivery) plus the Health Safety Net. Lawfully present people over the MassHealth income limits may buy subsidized ConnectorCare through the Massachusetts Health Connector. 🔴 Federal change: under the new federal law, as of October 1, 2026, some lawfully present immigrants lose comprehensive MassHealth (MassHealth estimates about 7,300 members affected) — e.g., refugees, asylees, humanitarian parolees, people with status because they or a family member survived abuse or trafficking, people whose deportation was withheld, pre-1980 conditional entrants, and certain Iraqi/Afghan/Ukrainian/Amerasian immigrants. You are NOT affected if you also have a status such as green-card holder, Cuban/Haitian entrant, or COFA (Micronesia/Marshall Islands/Palau) migrant, OR are a child under 21, OR are pregnant/postpartum (pregnant within the last 12 months, whatever the outcome). Those affected switch to other coverage: members 65+ or disabled generally move to MassHealth Family Assistance, and members 21-64 and non-disabled generally move to MassHealth Limited and/or the Health Safety Net.
