Updated September 24, 2026. Quick answer: Wyoming’s Medicaid home equity limit for a single nursing-home applicant is $752,000 for 2026. The most recent figure this session could directly verify, from a Wyoming Legislative Service Office fact sheet citing the state’s own eligibility manual, was $730,000 as of January 1, 2025 — exactly that year’s federal minimum. Wyoming’s home is excluded as a resource under the same federal mechanism other minimum-tracking states use, and the current 2026 federal minimum is $752,000.
What Wyoming’s own materials say
Wyoming Medicaid Rules Chapter 18 excludes the home as a resource but does not print a dollar figure directly in the rule text; the number lives in the Department of Health’s own Eligibility Online Manual, Table 7, which a Wyoming Legislative Service Office fact sheet quotes at $730,000 as of January 1, 2025 — exactly that year’s federal minimum.
Why this is inferred, not read directly
The Eligibility Online Manual itself could not be fetched directly this session, so the 2026 figure here applies Wyoming’s own documented practice (track the federal floor) to the current 2026 federal minimum, $752,000, that Missouri and Nebraska independently confirm this same year from their own primary sources.
