MinnesotaCare
3.2.5 Age
MinnesotaCare covers people of any age who meet the nonfinancial and financial eligibility requirements of the program. Most enrollees are people between the ages of 19 through 64, but children under age 19 and adults age 65 or older may also be eligible for the program.
-
Children under age 19 may be eligible for MinnesotaCare if they are not eligible for Medical Assistance (MA).
-
Adults who are age 65 or older may be eligible for MinnesotaCare if they are not eligible for MA and cannot get Medicare or must pay a premium for Medicare Part A. Adults who are age 65 or older who can enroll in Medicare Part A without paying a premium are not eligible for MinnesotaCare.
-
MinnesotaCare enrollees who become eligible for Medicare Part A without a premium when they turn 65 are eligible for MinnesotaCare until the last day of the month before the month of their 65th birthday.
