To stay on the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), your maximum monthly income is determined by your family size and whether the applicants are adults or children.
Maximum Monthly Income Limits for OHP
The table below provides a clear overview of the maximum monthly income you can earn based on your family size and the age category of the applicants:
Family Size | Maximum Monthly Income for Adults (19-64) | Maximum Monthly Income for Children (0-18) |
---|---|---|
1 | $1,732 | $3,828 |
2 | $2,351 | $5,196 |
3 | $2,970 | $6,563 |
Understanding OHP Income Requirements
- Household Income: Your total household income is a primary factor in determining your eligibility for OHP. The program aims to provide healthcare coverage to individuals and families who meet specific income guidelines relative to the federal poverty level.
- Family Size Matters: As demonstrated in the table, the income threshold increases with your family size. This accounts for the varied financial needs of different household compositions.
- Age Categories: Distinct income limits apply to adults (aged 19-64) and children (aged 0-18), reflecting the different programs and criteria under OHP.
Important Notes for Maintaining Eligibility
- Stay Within Limits: Earning more than the specified maximum monthly income for your family size and applicant type could result in a loss of OHP benefits.
- Report Changes: It's crucial to report any changes in your household income, family size, or other relevant circumstances to the Oregon Health Authority. This ensures your eligibility is accurately assessed and maintained.
