Abstract: The Brown, Kowalski, Lurie (BKL) Medicaid Calculator (“medicaidcalc_bkl.dta”), computes monthly Medicaid eligibility through age 18 for birth-month cohorts born from January 1981 — December 1984. The calculator consists of the federal poverty level (FPL) eligibility thresholds that each state and Washington, D.C., used to means-test Medicaid over this period. In conjunction with this calculator, the following data are sufficient to determine if a child was eligible for Medicaid: birth month and birth year, state of residence, and income as a percentage of the FPL (a statutory function of family income, state of residence, and household size)
