Check Medi-Cal Eligibility

Medi-Cal eligibility is based mainly on income. Once you apply, HSA will help determine whether you qualify for Medi-Cal or other affordable healthcare options.  Learn more about your eligibility using the BenefitsCal Ask Robin chat. 

Full Medi-Cal for more Californians

Effective January 1, 2024:  More low-income Californians are eligible for full Medi-Cal, regardless of age, assets, or immigration status. 

What's new: 

  • No more asset limits
    Your car, house, bank accounts, retirement funds, and other assets will no longer be counted when you apply for or renew Medi-Cal coverage. If your Medi-Cal was denied, delayed, reduced, or stopped, because of your assets, we encourage you to reapply.  
  • Full Medi-Cal for undocumented immigrants
    If you have emergency Medi-Cal (also called limited or restricted scope), you don’t need to apply for full Medi-Cal. You will automatically get full coverage starting January 1, 2024. 

More information for immigrants:

  • Applying for Medi-Cal will not affect your immigration status. 
  • Using most Medi-Cal services will not affect your immigration status. The only exception to this is if you are in a nursing home or receiving long-term institutional care. Both can be considered in a public charge determination.  

We help you determine your eligibility

Don't know if you qualify for Medi-Cal? Even if you don’t, we encourage you to still apply. We will evaluate you for other affordable health care options:

Health care for uninsured residents
