Hello everyone, Does pending asylum applicant get some kind of health insurance benefit from the government. My case is pending in Immigration court right now. Am I eligible for any health benefits from the government?

As far as my knowledge goes, pending asylum doesn't qualify your for any health insurance. for you to qualify their benefits, you need an approved asylum case. However, you can qualify for medicaid through your state medical insurance.
