Government Benefits in Wyoming
Where Wyoming residents apply for SNAP, Medicaid, and home energy assistance, plus every nationwide program available to everyone.
How This Works
SNAP, Medicaid, and LIHEAP are federal programs, but each state runs its own application portal and sets some of its own rules — including, for Medicaid, whether the state expanded eligibility to more adults under the Affordable Care Act. The cards below link you straight to Wyoming's official application system for each program. Exact income limits change with annual poverty-guideline updates, so we intentionally don't publish a specific number here — the portal will show your exact cutoff for your household size.

WY DFS also handles Medicaid and other assistance programs.
Wyoming Medicaid
Medicaid Not ExpandedWY Dept. of Health
Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid, so adults without dependent children generally do not qualify regardless of income.
