Do I have to be receiving Social Security benefits to apply for Medicaid?

No. This is a common myth. You can apply for Medicaid at anytime and be approved for different reasons. One reason you may be approved is that you are disabled. Hence the myth that you must be receiving disability benefits in order to apply. You may not be approved, but you MAY apply. You should especially apply if you have children and have a low income.
