MaineCare for Kids Beginning October 1, 2023, children and young adults under 21 in Maine are now eligible for MaineCare coverage if they are in families who make an annual income up to 300% of the Federal Poverty Level. That translates to an annual salary of about $59,000 for a family of 2 and $90,000 for a family of 4. We have launched a MaineCare for Kids Toolkit (PDF) to provide you with materials you can download and print or include in your digital and social media channels to help reach the families with children and young adults who now may be eligible for MaineCare coverage.
