Older Adult Expansion

The Older Adult Expansion will be effective May 1, 2022. The Expansion extends eligibility for full scope Medi-Cal to all people who are 50 years of age or older, who meet all Medi-Cal eligibility criteria, and immigration status does not matter. If you have active restricted scope Medi-Cal in May 2022 you will be automatically transitioned to full scope Medi-Cal. If you receive a renewal notice, please fill it out and return it to the county so that there is no processing delay. If you do not have active restricted scope Medi-Cal you can apply for Medi-Cal online, by mail, by telephone, at your local county office, by fax or in person. If you qualify for full scope Medi-Cal under the Older Adult Expansion, you will receive a notice to tell you about your eligibility for full scope Medi-Cal and the beginning date, which will be May 1, 2022 or after. 

Asset Limit Changes

On July 1, 2022 the asset limit for Medi-Cal programs for people who are 65 or older or disabled is increasing. These changes apply to things you own, which can be counted for Medi-Cal eligibility. These items include bank accounts, cash, second vehicles and homes, and other financial resources. The previous limits were $2,000 for one person, and $3,000 for a couple. The new limits are $130,000 for one person, and an additional $65,000 for each additional family member. If you believe you may be eligible for Medi-Cal once the new limits start, you are encouraged to apply. If you are already in a Medi-Cal program which has asset limits, you will be able to keep more than you could before. Please contact your local county Medi-Cal office if you have any questions.
