If you have children under the age of 18, and you are working, your family may be eligible for a 24- month extension of your Medicaid health benefits. As your income changes, so will your Medicaid eligibility. Exactly when the two years begins depends on the amount you are earning. If your new job already provides health benefits, you will use those first, then your Medicaid benefits, if needed, to pay for health care costs.
