In Florida, the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) is responsible for Medicaid. Medicaid assists aged and disabled people with the costs of nursing facility care and other medical expenses. Eligibility for Medicaid is usually based on your income and assets. Florida residents who are eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are automatically eligible for Medicaid coverage from the Social Security Administration.
