Program options, include waiver programs that provide an array of Home and Community-Based Services in lieu of institutionalization in long-term care facilities.

How to apply for Medicaid coverage.

1.) Please choose which Ohio Medicaid program you would like to apply for and complete the application.

2.) Read the application carefully. Attach copies of your income, resources* (if applicable), proof of citizenship or qualified-alien status, pregnancy (if applicable) and other insurance you may have. If you are applying because you are age 65 or older or disabled, you will need to provide proof of your age or disability as well.

3.) Sign and date the application and send the application and any additional materials to Guernsey County Department of Job & Family Services. You may either mail, fax or drop off the application. You may also have an authorized representative apply on your behalf.
 

Citizenship Verification Requirement for Medicaid

As of September 25, 2006,  U.S. citizenship must be verified to receive (or continue to receive) Medicaid coverage.   This requirement does not apply to individuals who receive SSI,  Medicare, or those who are not U.S. citizens.

Each person receiving Medicaid must provide proof of U.S. citizenship or cooperate with their case manager to verify citizenship when applying or reapplying for Medicaid. Proof of citizenship may also be required when changes are made to a Medicaid case. Original documents or certified copies must be used to prove citizenship. This documentation must be provided only one time.  We apologize for the extra work this may cause, but please work with us to ensure you and your family members remain eligible for Medicaid.
