Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid — there is no standard adult coverage group for childless adults
Adults ages 19–64 without dependent children and without a disability have no Wyoming Medicaid pathway regardless of income. The income limits below apply only to the coverage groups Wyoming covers. For current income limit tables, visit health.wyo.gov or call 1-855-294-2127.

No asset test for MAGI-based coverage; asset test applies to LTC
MAGI-based coverage — children and pregnant women — does not use an asset test. Savings and property are not counted for these groups.
Long-term care Medicaid (nursing home and certain HCBS programs) applies both income and resource limits. The individual resource limit is $2,000. The income limit for institutional care is 300% of the Federal Benefit Rate (FBR). Contact the Long-Term Care Eligibility Unit at 1-855-203-2936 for LTC financial eligibility questions.
Wyoming's income limits compared to expansion states
Wyoming's children's income limits (154% FPL for younger children, 133% for older) are lower than the Medicaid thresholds in most expansion states, which typically cover children at 138–200%+ FPL. Wyoming makes up some of this gap with Kid Care CHIP extending to 200% FPL, but the combined reach of Medicaid plus CHIP for children (200% FPL) is still below what many expansion states provide. For comparison, Vermont covers children up to 312% FPL.
