I'm "dual-eligible" Medicare and Medicaid. I fall under Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB). My Social Security puts me over the listed amount so I am required to pay the overage towards my medical care as a "participation" fee aka a "spend-down".
Here are the links to eligibility: https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/index.html https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/medicaid-enrollees/index.html I think it may vary by state.
