# Hawaii Medicaid Asset Limits

Last updated 2026-10-20

**Quick answer:** In 2026, Hawaii's Medicaid asset limit for aged, blind and disabled applicants is $2,000 for one person and $3,000 for a two-person household. Countable assets over the limit make the household ineligible.

Hawaii's Med-QUEST Division publishes annual resource standards, and its 2026 chart for MAGI-excepted households sets the countable-asset ceiling at $2,000 for a one-person aged, blind, or disabled household and $3,000 for a two-person household. These same figures apply to both the standard aged/blind/disabled eligibility group and the spenddown pathway, while Medicare Savings Programs use separate, higher resource standards found elsewhere in the same chart.

Hawaii's asset regulation frames these numbers as ceilings on countable resources — cross the threshold and the household becomes ineligible, full stop. That makes it essential to know precisely what counts. A checking account, a jointly titled account, a life insurance policy's cash value, real property, or assets held in trust can all be treated differently depending on the specific rule that applies, so nothing should be assumed exempt or countable without checking the detailed regulation first.
