Income Limits

The tables below show how much money the applicant can receive each month before taxes (gross monthly income) and other deductions are subtracted.

It is also important to know that if someone is working, AHCCCS may subtract an amount for work expenses.

If person's income is under the limit in the table below, the person qualifies to have their Medicare Part A & B premiums, copayments, and deductibles paid.

Income limits change every April 1.

If the person's income is higher than the income limit in the table above, the person may still qualify to have just their Medicare Part B premium paid if their income is under the income limit below.

Income limits change every April 1.
