North Carolina expanded who can get Medicaid on December 1.
Adults ages 19-64 earning up to 138% of the federal poverty line (e.g., singles earning about $20,000/year or families of three earning about $34,000/year) may be eligible.
Visit medicaid.nc.gov to learn more about eligibility and how to apply or call Granville County Social Services at 919-693-1511. You can also apply in-person, phone or mailed applications at your local Social Services Office. The processing time for applications can be up to 45 days and those submitted online may be processed faster.
In addition to the Oxford Social Services Office (410 West Spring Street, Oxford) and the Butner-Creedmoor Office (2531 East Lyon Station Road, Creedmoor), Social Services staff will assist residents who may be interested in applying at “drop-box” locations at the Granville County Senior Center (107 Lanier Street, Oxford), the Berea Branch Library (1211 US Highway 158, Oxford), and the Stovall Branch Library (300 Main Street, Stovall).
Coverage provided under Medicaid is comprehensive, including services like primary care, hospital stays, maternity care, vision and hearing, wellness visits, emergency care, mental health, and more. Current beneficiaries with full Medicaid coverage won’t see any changes.
