PATHWAYS ELIGIBILITY
Georgia Pathways to Coverage™ is an innovative program that creates a new pathway to Medicaid coverage and healthier communities. As one of Governor Kemp’s key priorities, this program seeks to increase access to affordable healthcare coverage, lower the uninsured rate across Georgia, support members on their journeys to financial independence, and promote members’ transition from Pathways into private coverage. This program offers Medicaid coverage to eligible Georgians ages 19-64 who have a household income of up to 100% of the Federal Poverty Level. For example, in 2025, this equals $15,650 per year or $1,304 on average per month for one person, and $26,650 per year or $2,220 on average per month for a family of three. Eligible Georgians are not otherwise eligible for traditional Medicaid and meet the qualifying activities threshold. Qualifying activity requirements will only apply to Pathways and not those who are enrolled in other Georgia Medicaid programs.
