Some states will not allow you to have other insurance and medicaid. But some will. Eligibility is based on the income of the household, so in most cases, all family members incomes in the household will be counted. Doesn't matter if you are working or not-as long as you meet those guidelines.

Some states do try to recover costs paid from the person's estate after they have passed away-but usually only if there has been a large payout.

Most states also have residency minimums you must meet-either that you must have been in the state 30-60 days and/or that you intend to stay in the state.

You will have to google your state and medicaid to find out the laws in your state.
