Title 19 is which program?

• A. Medicare
• B. Medicaid
• C. Social Security
• D. Veterans Affairs

Answer: (B)

Title 19 refers to Medicaid, the joint federal‑state health program for people with low income. It was created as part of the Social Security Act and is funded through federal matching funds to states. Eligibility and exact benefits are set by each state within federal guidelines, so coverage can vary, but common items include hospital and physician services, long‑term care in some settings, and other health services for eligible individuals and families. Medicare, by contrast, is Title 18 and mainly provides health coverage for people 65 and older or certain disabled individuals, with a different funding structure. Social Security and Veterans Affairs operate their own programs with separate eligibility and benefits. Sometimes people qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare, with Medicaid helping pay costs that Medicare doesn’t cover.
