# New York Medicaid Asset Limits

Last updated 2026-10-20

It pays to check the source when it comes to New York's Medicaid resource limits — some professional and advisory sites are still circulating outdated numbers. The New York State Office for the Aging's own 2026 guidance (26-PI-06) sets the Non-MAGI Medicaid resource limits at $33,038 for a single applicant and $44,796 for a couple.

You may run across older figures like $32,396 or $32,532 on other sites. Those appear to be either preliminary estimates or leftover numbers from 2025 rather than the finalized amounts in the state's current directive, so they shouldn't be relied on for a 2026 application.

## New York figures

- Resource limit (individual, 2026): $33,038
- Resource limit (couple, 2026): $44,796
- Outdated figure sometimes cited: $32,396 or $32,532 (preliminary/2025 carryover, not current)
