This chart shows the current income limits for ARKids First benefit packages. If your family’s income is less than the amount in the ARKids A column, then your children may be eligible for ARKids A (Medicaid). If your family’s income is more than the amount in the ARKids A column but less than the amount in the ARKids B column, your children may be eligible for ARKids B. Assets will not be considered when applying for ARKids A or B.
ARKids B is available to children who do not have employer-sponsored or group health insurance and have not had insurance for at least 90 days. However, if you have lost insurance involuntarily, your children may be eligible for insurance immediately.
If you have questions about your eligibility, call the eligibility hotline at 1-888-474-8275.
Families that include immigrants may apply. You may apply for your children even if you are not eligible for coverage. Applying will not affect your immigration status or you chance of becoming a permanent resident or citizen.
