It potentially will come down to whether or not your state choose to expand its medicare program.
This is directly from the website listed in the first post:

In states that opt out of expanding Medicaid, some people making below this amount will still be eligible for Medicaid, some will be eligible for subsidized coverage through Marketplaces, and others will not be eligible for subsidies.

So it is possible that even if the state of TN declines to give her medicaid she might be able to get it on a federal level.
It also says:

Household income includes incomes of the taxpayer, spouse, and dependents.

If that is true she should be able to get coverage.
