Understanding Idaho's 2024 Income Limits

Idaho's income limits for health programs are based on federal guidelines adjusted for the state's cost of living. The 2024 limits vary by program and household size. For Medicaid, the maximum income is typically 138% of the federal poverty level, while CHIP has different thresholds.

Note: Income limits can change annually. Always verify with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare for the most current figures.

How Income Affects Eligibility

Your income determines your eligibility for Idaho health programs. If your household income is below the limit for your household size and program, you may qualify for assistance. The calculator shows you exactly where you stand compared to the official limits.

For example, a single person applying for Medicaid would need to earn less than $16,740 in 2024 to qualify. A family of four would need to earn less than $35,100.
