ACCESS Locations:

Medicaid at Community Medical Group

Medicaid provides medical coverage to low-income families and individuals. The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) determines eligibility.

Medicaid for Families Low-income families (with one or two parents) may be eligible for Family Related Medicaid. Parents must have at least one child that meets all technical factors of eligibility or be pregnant. Relatives within a specified degree of relationship who care for minor children may choose to receive this type of Medicaid, along with the children if they meet the program eligibility requirements. Coverage under this group may include unemployed or underemployed parents and their children up to the age of 18.

Medicaid for Pregnant Women Simplified Eligibility for Pregnant Women (SEPW) provides full Medicaid coverage for pregnant women. Eligibility is determined for the pregnant woman only and does not consider the eligibility of other household members. Pregnant women with family income at or below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level may be eligible. There is no asset limit for coverage. The pregnancy must be verified. Coverage extends through delivery and two months post-partum.

Food Stamp Program at Community Medical Group

The Food Stamp Program helps low-income families and individuals buy healthy food. Food assistance benefits are a supplement to a family's food budget. Households may need to spend some of their own money, along with their food assistance benefits, to buy enough food for one month. Individuals who buy and cook food together are considered one household for food assistance purposes. Individuals must meet the residence/citizenship requirements to qualify and provide a social security number, or provide proof that they have applied for a social security number. This requirement includes children.

Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) provides assistance to families with children under the age of 18 or under age 19 if they are full time high school students who meet technical, income and asset requirements. The program helps families become self-supporting while allowing children to remain in their own homes. Pregnant women may also receive TCA, either during the third trimester if unable to work or in the 9th month of pregnancy. Parents, children and minor siblings who live together must apply together. Some of the eligibility rules for this program are time limits, work rules, citizenship, and child support among others.
