Which program is associated with Title 18 and Title 19?

Which program is associated with Title 18 and Title 19?

• A. Medicare
• B. Medicaid
• C. VA Health Care
• D. Social Security

Answer: (A)

The names of these programs are tied to specific titles in the Social Security Act. Title XVIII is Medicare, a federal health insurance program primarily for people aged 65 and older (and certain younger people with disabilities). Title XIX is Medicaid, a joint federal–state program that provides health coverage to low-income individuals. So there isn’t a single program associated with both titles; Medicare corresponds to Title XVIII, while Medicaid corresponds to Title XIX. The take-home is to memorize the mappings: Medicare with Title XVIII and Medicaid with Title XIX.
