Medicaid.gov notes that MAGI rules generally adjust income by an amount equal to a 5% FPL disregard, so a person can qualify with income about 5 percentage points of FPL above the standard shown. Other rules apply too, such as citizenship, immigration status, and state residency. The state agency makes the decision.
