Low-income adults without children can now get Medical Assistance
General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC) was a state-funded program for low-income adults without children who did not qualify for federally funded health care programs. The program ended Feb. 28, 2011 and enrollees were automatically moved to Medical Assistance (MA), Minnesota’s Medicaid program.

MA is available to low-income adults ages 21 to 64 who may qualify if they do not have children under age 21 in the home and meet the income limits of:

• $681 a month or $8,172 a year for one person
• $920 a month or $11,040 a year for a married couple.

New applicants may apply through their local county office. Printable applications and more information about applying can be found by clicking on How to apply in the left column of this page.
