If you are on Medicaid and start a new job that is offering health insurance, will I be able to sign up for the new company health plan? Or does Medicaid impact me from signing up with the new plan.

Medicaid eligibility is based on income so if your income from your job doesn’t disqualify you, you can keep it.

Are you really asking about Medicaid---for low income individuals who qualify for government funded health care? Or are you asking about Medicare? Do not confuse them with each other.

Though the programs are similar, Medicare and Medicaid are not the same thing and the terms are not interchangeable.
Medicare is a health insurance program managed by the U.S. federal government that typically covers healthcare costs related to hospital stays, doctor’s appointments, hospice, and more, for individuals who are 65 or older or have been diagnosed with certain disabilities.
Medicaid is a health insurance program managed jointly by the U.S. federal government and individual state governments. It is reserved exclusively for those with special cases, such as low income individuals, pregnant women, and those with certain disabilities.
