Medicaid eligibility in Wyoming

The 2026 poverty guideline for four people in Wyoming is $33,000. Wyoming has not adopted the full Medicaid expansion. We do not guess the adult cutoff. Children and pregnant people still have a path. This site does not approve or deny benefits. A missing figure stays blank. We do not guess it.

Simple answer

Full adult Medicaid expansion is not in place here.

Wyoming has not fully expanded Medicaid. We do not guess the adult cutoff. Children and pregnant people still have a path.

Who is inside Medicaid or CHIP on the rules we can verify? A household of four is measured against $33,000. Wyoming has not adopted the full ACA Medicaid expansion.

Wyoming has no metro in the top 100 population ranking, so this page stays on statewide rules.

Wyoming has no tax on wages. Combined state and local sales tax is 5.6%. The ACS effective property tax rate is 0.57%.

A household of four with $48,000 of income is about 145 percent of the $33,000 poverty guideline and is a maybe for Medicaid and CHIP. Maybe — a state pathway is unverified or only part of the household fits.
