Georgia Pathways to Coverage is a new program to help low-income Georgians qualify for Medicaid. Pathways introduces a new Medicaid eligibility category in Georgia, increasing access to affordable, quality healthcare coverage for those in the state who don’t have it today.

Whether you are losing your coverage because you no longer qualify or are otherwise currently uninsured, Pathways could help you get the health care you need. To be eligible for Pathways, you must:

• Be a Georgia resident
• Be a U.S. citizen or legally residing non-citizen
• Have a household income of up to 100% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). For example, in 2024, this equals:
  • $15,060 per year or $1,255 on average per month for one person
  • $25,820 per year or $2,151 on average per month for a family of three
• Be between 19 and 64 years of age
• Prove that you are doing at least 80 hours of qualifying activities per month
  • Full-time enrollment at KSU (of 12 credit hours per semester) satisfies this requirement
• Not qualify for any other type of Medicaid
• Not be incarcerated
