A state and federally funded health coverage program designed for low-income individuals of all ages, Medicaid in Virginia is administered by the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.dmas.virginia.gov/#/index" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Department of Medical Assistance Services</a>.&nbsp;Eligibility is determined by Alexandria&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.alexandriava.gov/DCHS" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Department of Community and Human Services</a>&nbsp;and is dependent on income, assets and residency.

Interested seniors must be Virginia residents and U.S. citizens age 65 or older, with monthly income not exceeding $2,313 for individuals and $4,626 for couples. The maximum assets allowed for&nbsp;individuals is $2,000, and it&rsquo;s $4,000 for couples applying jointly.&nbsp;

Income from all sources, including pensions, alimony payments, SSI&nbsp;and IRA withdrawals are considered. Countable assets include bank accounts, investments, cash, stocks and real estate other than a primary residence valued at $585,000 or less. Other exempt assets include burial trusts, personal belongings and an automobile.

Seniors who are over the income limit for Medicaid but have significant medical bills may still qualify through a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.dss.virginia.gov/files/division/bp/medical_assistance/intro_page/more_facts/d032-03-0836-04-eng.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">spend down</a>, which allows for the deduction of certain medical costs to reduce countable income. To qualify, seniors must have out-of-pocket medical expenses that bring their countable monthly income down to $489 for individuals and $662 for couples.

To apply for Medicaid, call (855) 242-8282 or visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coverva.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cover Virginia</a>. &nbsp;

This waiver provides a number of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cccplusva.com/learn/long-term-services-and-supports-and-other-services" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">long-term services and supports</a>&nbsp;so seniors can remain in their homes and communities and&nbsp;delay&nbsp;a transition into nursing care.

The available services and supports include, but are not limited to, companion and in-home support, personal care, electronic home-based supports, skilled nursing and transition services. Eligibility is determined through a screening conducted by Alexandria&rsquo;s Department of Community and Human Services, which can take place even if a senior has not yet applied for Medicaid.
