2026 income limits

Wyoming Medicaid Income Limits 2026: Chart by Household Size & Family of 4

Quick answer: Wyoming has not taken the ACA's 138% FPL expansion, so there is no 138% FPL adult ceiling. The only adult standard in the national table is the parents and caretaker relatives category. Children and pregnant women qualify at much higher levels. The chart below lists the Wyoming Medicaid income requirements and guidelines for 2026 — all effective cutoffs including the 5% MAGI disregard, computed from the official 2026 FPL table (ASPE / Federal Register). State standards are from the CMS national eligibility table, as of 2023-12-01.

Verification: All figures come from the CMS national eligibility table (2023-12-01 snapshot); the parents standard is dollar-based (CMS equivalent ~45% FPL) and exact dollars are pending state verification.

The parents and caretaker relatives category, set in dollars by the state (CMS equivalent ~45% FPL).

Wyoming publishes MAGI standards as a percent of FPL and applies the federal 5-percentage-point income disregard when it makes someone eligible, so each group has a base standard and a slightly higher effective cutoff. The tables below show the effective figures in dollars, computed from the official 2026 federal poverty guidelines.

MAGI household size follows federal tax-filing relationships, not who lives under your roof - and a pregnant applicant counts the expected child(ren).
