Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid and is one of the remaining non-expansion holdouts. Despite being one of the wealthiest states per capita, Wyoming has a coverage gap of approximately 20,000 residents.

Benefits in Wyoming

Wyoming is both one of the least populous states and, per capita, one of the wealthiest due to its energy sector. Despite this, the state has not expanded Medicaid, and low-income adults without children or disabilities cannot access public health coverage. Wyoming administers SNAP, TANF, and childcare assistance through the Department of Family Services. Wyoming's small population means benefits offices are spread across a large geographic area; many rural residents must travel significant distances to access services.

Main agency: Wyoming Department of Family Services (DFS)
