Medicaid eligibility extends to U.S. citizens, lawfully present immigrants, and qualified non-citizens who meet the income and resource standards established by the program. Individuals who are recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are automatically eligible for Medicaid; however, they are still required to complete an application form to ensure accurate documentation of their eligibility. Applicants must provide information regarding their household size, income, and resources, as well as any other relevant factors. For further assistance with the application process, individuals are encouraged to contact the CNMI Medicaid office.
All forms related to eligibility and enrollment can be found under the "Forms" section of our website, especially if you are looking for a specific form.
New applicants can access the New Application Packet directly through the provided link. If you are a current beneficiary and your coverage is set to expire within the next 30 days, or if it has been less than 30 days since your coverage expired, you may use the Renewal Packet to renew your Medicaid coverage.
Please be aware that you will also need to update any required supporting documents. For assistance and to determine which documents need to be submitted, please contact our Eligibility & Enrollment department.
Your eligibility determination must be completed within 60 days from the submission date of your enrollment or renewal. However, your eligibility caseworker can typically inform you of your eligibility based on the information provided during your interview.
You can renew your Medicaid eligibility by submitting your application anytime within a 60-day window—starting 30 days before and continuing up to 30 days after the expiration date of your current coverage. It is recommended that you begin the renewal process as early as possible to avoid any lapses in coverage. To ensure your continued access to Medicaid benefits, please provide all necessary documentation and complete the renewal process within this timeframe. For assistance or to learn more about the required steps, contact the CNMI Medicaid office.

Medicaid eligibility in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is based on the Federal Benefit Rate (FBR). Individuals and families must have an income at or below a certain percentage of the FBR to qualify for Medicaid, with specific thresholds varying by household size and program category (e.g., children, pregnant women, or individuals with disabilities). Other factors, such as household resources, are also considered.
For precise eligibility details, applicants are encouraged to contact the CNMI Medicaid office.
