What are the residency requirements for New York state medicaid?

To be eligible for New York State Medicaid, you must meet certain residency requirements. You must be a resident of New York State, and you must be able to prove your residency. You can prove your residency by providing two or more of the following documents:

- A valid New York State driver's license

- A valid New York State non-driver ID card

- A voter registration card for New York State

- A New York State income tax return

- A utility bill (gas, electric, or water)

- A lease or rental agreement

If you are unable to provide any of these documents, you may still be able to prove your residency by providing other evidence, such as:

- A letter from your employer stating that you work in New York State

- A school transcript from a New York State school

- A doctor's bill or statement from a New York State doctor or hospital

If you are applying for Medicaid on behalf of a child, the child must also meet the residency requirements.

In addition to the residency requirements, you must also meet certain income and asset limits to qualify for Medicaid. For more information on the residency requirements and other Medicaid eligibility requirements, please visit the New York State Department of Health website.
