Analyze Medicaid waiting period regulations

Federal Medicaid regulations dictate that states cannot impose a waiting period for eligible individuals to receive Medicaid benefits once their eligibility is determined. Coverage must begin on or before the first day of the month of application, and retroactive coverage may be available for up to 3 months prior to application if the individual would have been eligible. Therefore, Medicaid imposes no waiting period.

• 60 days
• 30 days
