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

Washington covers immigrants unevenly by group. (1) Children under 19 — eligible for Apple Health for Kids regardless of immigration status if income-eligible. (2) Pregnant people — eligible for Apple Health for pregnant individuals and After-Pregnancy Coverage (through 12 months postpartum) regardless of immigration status. (3) Adults 19-64 and 65+ — standard Apple Health requires a qualifying immigration status (e.g., a lawful permanent resident past the 5-year bar); undocumented and other non-qualifying adults do NOT get standard Apple Health. 🔴 For undocumented adults there is a separate state-funded program, Apple Health Expansion, covering Washington residents age 19+ with income up to 138% FPL regardless of status — BUT it is capped at 13,000 enrollees and enrollment is CURRENTLY CLOSED because the cap has been met; the state has said it will not reopen enrollment while the federal H.R.1 changes are implemented. If you apply and are denied because the cap was met, you need take no further steps but may still be randomly selected if space opens. Undocumented or non-qualifying immigrants who cannot enroll can instead buy Qualified Health/Dental Plans (QHP/QDP) through Washington Healthplanfinder (a federal 1332 waiver lets people without a federally recognized status shop there) and may use Emergency Medical (AEM). 🔴 Federal change: under H.R.1 (Section 71109), effective October 1, 2026, the "qualified noncitizen" definition narrows to lawful permanent residents, certain Cuban/Haitian entrants, and COFA (Micronesia/Marshall Islands/Palau) islanders; refugees, asylees, trafficking victims, conditional entrants, people whose removal has been withheld, VAWA self-petitioners, and various parolees (including Afghan and Ukrainian humanitarian parolees) lose federally funded Apple Health after September 30, 2026 unless they have adjusted to lawful permanent resident — but children, pregnant people, and those within 12 months postpartum keep Apple Health regardless of status.
