Wyoming Medicaid Income Limits 2026: Chart by Household Size (Children, Pregnant Women, Kid Care CHIP)

Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid to all adults, and the Department of Health's March 2026 coverage guide lists no coverage for non-disabled adults. Children ages 0-5 qualify at up to 154% of the federal poverty level, about $2,049 a month for one and $4,235 for a household of four (FedRateCalc's calculation on the 2026 guideline), and pregnant women use the same 154%. Figures in bold come from the state agency's own chart, effective March 2026 (Department of Health coverage guide); figures in italic are FedRateCalc's calculation from the state's percentage and the 2026 poverty guidelines, not from federal averages or the old Medicaid.gov table.

Wyoming Medicaid income limit chart, 2026

Monthly and annual limits by household size for each group the Wyoming Department of Health prints. Bold figures are printed by the state; italic figures are FedRateCalc's calculation (a monthly figure times 12, an annual figure divided by 12, or, for the groups marked "Computed by FedRateCalc", the state's percentage times the 2026 poverty guideline, divided by 12 and rounded up to a dollar). The state chart effective date is March 2026 (Department of Health coverage guide).

  • Pregnant Women (up to 154% FPL): The coverage guide and the Programs and Eligibility page give the percentage; the dollar amounts are FedRateCalc's calculation from it, rounded up to a whole dollar as the Department's 2025 table is (the page prints no 2026 dollar table), and the checker adds a 5 percent disregard.
  • Children ages 0-5, Medicaid (up to 154% FPL): Children ages 0-5 are at or below 154% of the federal poverty level in Medicaid; Kid Care CHIP covers children above it. The Kid Care 200% tier is the highest Title XIX child standard (the Medicaid.gov table shows 200% with no separate CHIP), so the checker adds no separate band to this tier.
  • Children ages 6-18, Medicaid (up to 133% FPL): Children ages 6-18 are at or below 133% in Medicaid; Kid Care CHIP covers children above it. The Kid Care 200% tier is the highest Title XIX child standard (the Medicaid.gov table shows 200% with no separate CHIP), so the checker adds no separate band to this tier.
  • Kid Care CHIP (up to 200% FPL): The coverage guide prints annual household income at 200% of the 2026 guideline for sizes 1 to 8; the monthly figures are the annual amount divided by 12.
  • The Department of Health's "2026 Healthcare Coverage Options in Wyoming" (March 2026) lists Medicaid at 0-154% FPL for children 0-5 and pregnant women, 0-133% for children 6-18 and CHIP at 0-200%, and prints the 2026 poverty guideline table. The Department's Medicaid Income Requirements page prints monthly dollar amounts, but the latest Internet Archive capture (May 12, 2026) shows amounts that equal these percentages of the 2025 guideline (its 133% amount for one person is 133% of the $15,650 guideline of 2025), so none of its dollar amounts are used here.
  • The coverage guide lists parents and caretakers at 0-46% FPL under Medicaid and says the Family Care percentage is estimated for a family of 4, that Wyoming's Family Care population is based on the 1996 AFDC standard and that FPL estimates are illustrative only, so no parent or caretaker amounts are calculated here.

How Wyoming counts the 5 percent disregard

Federal rules tell states to subtract 5 percentage points of the poverty level from income for the eligibility group with the highest income standard. That is why some state charts print a percentage such as 133% and others print the total, such as 138%.

“Effective January 1, 2014, in determining the eligibility of an individual using MAGI-based income, a state must subtract an amount equivalent to 5 percentage points of the Federal poverty level for the applicable family size only to determine the eligibility of an individual for medical assistance under the eligibility group with the highest income standard using MAGI-based methodologies in the applicable Title of the Act, but not to determine eligibility for a particular eligibility group.”
42 CFR 435.603(d)(4) (source)

The household size in the chart for a pregnant woman counts the children she is expected to deliver:

“In the case of determining the family size of a pregnant woman, the pregnant woman is counted as herself plus the number of children she is expected to deliver. In the case of determining the family size of other individuals who have a pregnant woman in their household, the pregnant woman is counted, at State option, as either 1 or 2 person(s) or as herself plus the number of children she is expected to deliver.”
42 CFR 435.603(b), definition of family size (source)

In Wyoming's chart, the amounts for Pregnant Women (up to 154% FPL); Kid Care CHIP (up to 200% FPL) are the plain percentage. The checker above adds 5 percent of the 2026 guideline to those amounts as its own calculation to show income that is just over the printed amount.

Wyoming Medicaid programs and expansion

Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid to all adults at 133% of the federal poverty level. The Department of Health's 2026 coverage guide lists "No Coverage" for non-disabled adults and for parents and caretakers above their Family Care level, and shows the groups that would change "If Medicaid Expansion occurs". Medicaid.gov's table, as of December 1, 2023, shows "No" for Wyoming in the column for expansion to adults.

  • Wyoming Medicaid children and Pregnant Women programs. The Department of Health lists Child MAGI (children ages 0-5 at or below 154% of the federal poverty level and ages 6-18 at or below 133%) and Pregnant Women (income at or below 154%, with coverage for up to 12 months post-partum).
  • Kid Care CHIP. The Department says Kid Care CHIP is available to the children of parents whose income lies below 200% of the federal poverty level and are not eligible for Medicaid.

Wyoming Medicaid changes in 2027

The Department of Health's March 2026 coverage guide and its Programs and Eligibility and Wyoming Medicaid pages (read from Internet Archive captures of August 20 and September 27, 2026) describe no community engagement requirement or six-month renewals for Wyoming members, and the guide lists no coverage for non-disabled adults.

“The term `applicable individual' means an individual (other than a specified excluded individual (as defined in clause (ii)))-- (I) who is eligible to enroll (or is enrolled) under the State plan under subsection (a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII); or (II) who-- (aa) is otherwise eligible to enroll (or is enrolled) under a waiver of such plan that provides coverage that is equivalent to minimum essential coverage (as described in section 5000A(f)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and as determined in accordance with standards prescribed by the Secretary in regulations); and (bb) has attained the age of 19 and is under 65 years of age, is not pregnant, is not entitled to, or enrolled for, benefits under part A of title XVIII, or enrolled for benefits under part B of title XVIII, and is not otherwise eligible to enroll under such plan.”
Public Law 119-21, section 71119(a), new section 1902(xx)(9)(A)(i), the whole definition of an applicable individual (source)

On the statute's wording, the requirement applies to individuals in the expansion adult group, and to individuals in a waiver group with coverage equivalent to minimum essential coverage who are 19 to 64, not pregnant, not entitled to or enrolled in Medicare and not otherwise eligible under the State plan. The Department of Health's 2026 coverage guide lists no expansion adult group and no such waiver group. This is FedRateCalc's reading of the statute together with the groups Wyoming publishes; the state decides who is covered.

The federal law behind these changes, Public Law 119-21, is explained with its exemptions and dates on the Medicaid income limits page. The income limits in the table above do not change because of it.

What changes for Wyoming Medicaid in 2027?

The charts on this page are 2026 charts; the community engagement requirement and six-month renewals are separate from the income limits.

Do the same limits apply to Wyoming seniors and people with disabilities?

No. Medicaid for people who are aged, blind or disabled uses different income and resource rules from the MAGI groups in this chart. Ask the Wyoming Department of Health or see Medicare vs Medicaid on this site.

How often does Wyoming update its Medicaid income limits?

The charts follow the federal poverty guidelines, which HHS updates each year, and Wyoming's source on this page is dated March 2026 (Department of Health coverage guide). FedRateCalc will look for Wyoming's 2027 chart after HHS publishes the 2027 guidelines.
