Who is eligible for Minnesota Care?
MnCare is open to all Minnesota residents who are U.S. citizens or have acceptable immigration status (a social security number is required for each person applying to the program) and who meet income and program guidelines. Families are eligible for MNCare if their income is at or below 275% of the federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG). All members of the family (parents and children) are eligible at the same income guidelines. However, in large families with incomes over $50, 000 per year, only the children in the family are eligible for coverage up to 275% of FPG. In addition to meeting income eligibility, applicants for MNCare cannot currently have or have had employer-subsidized insurance (ESI) within the past four months nor can they have had access to employer – subsidized insurance (through their current employer) within the past 18 months. ESI is defined as an insurance plan offered by an employer for which the employer pays at least 50% of the premium.
