Does medicaid help pay for utilites ?

Question

Im pregnant and i was told that medicade pays for utilities if i were to get my own place..now how does that work?

Answer 1

Medicaid doesnt pay anything expect for medical and prescriptions. Department of Social Services would be able to help with housing (section 8).  Not sure if they also take care of utilities, but you can ask.

Answer 2

Medicaid, although partially funded through the federal government, is actually run by the states and each state is different.  You will have to contact your state medicaid office to see what they cover, how you qualify and how to apply.

Answer 3

No, medicaid is only for medical expenses.

Answer 4

Gawd, I hope they do not.    Paying for power for every American on medicaid would double the national debt pretty quickly!
