Coverage For Adults Without Children

There are several AHCCCS programs available for adults who do not have children under the age of 19 living with them (if there are children under 19 in the household, see Families). AHCCCS Care, Arizona Long Term Care, Medical Expense Deductions and SSI Cash/Medical Assistance Only are programs that aid adults without children.

Some programs cover women only. These include SOBRA for Pregnant Women and the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program.

The Freedom to Work program offers assistance to disabled adults.
