Hello Viky,
Thank you for your question. Generally pregnant women are not subject to the 5 year bar in receiving Medicaid benefits. Therefore, typically a pregnant legal permanent resident is able to receive Medicaid benefits during the term of pregnancy. Pregnant women then revert to the 5-year bar once their pregnancy is over, if they have not yet been in qualified immigrant status for 5 years.
Kind regards,
Erin
