The most recently published North Carolina resource limits — effective April 1, 2025 — set the countable-resource threshold at $2,000 for a single applicant and $3,000 for a couple, under the MAABD eligibility categories that include institutional long-term-care Medicaid.
It's worth being precise here: no NCDHHS publication expressly dated 2026 sets a new resource limit. These figures should be treated as the state's most recently published numbers rather than confirmed 2026 amounts, and families should verify current limits with their county DSS before relying on them for a live application.
