Overview of General Eligibility Requirements for Family Related Medicaid
Applicants for Medicaid must be US citizens or qualified noncitizens, must be Florida residents, and must provide social security numbers to facilitate data matching. Most factors of eligibility may be verified electronically via the Federal
Data Services Hub (FDSH). Self-attestation is accepted for the majority of
eligibility factors;however a reasonable explanation and/or documentation may be requested to clarify questionable information or resolve inconsistencies.
If the parent is not a "legal documented" Florida resident, she would not be eligible for Medicaid help outside the emergency care in hospital for stroke. I would suggest that if this is the case, roldan can contact a local church to see if they have volunteers available or advocacy groups that help undocumented individuals to get services they are not eligible for through regular channels. Florida like Texas has become strict about eligibility for services due to a booming population but a busted tax base.
