You do not have to be a U.S. citizen and immigration status is not a condition of eligibility. You can receive full-scope Medi-Cal benefits if you meet eligibility requirements, are a U.S. citizen, or have Satisfactory Immigration status. Undocumented eligible adults will have access to Emergency and Pregnancy-related services.
Note: All eligible young adults under the age of 26 and older adults age 50 and over are entitled to receive full-scope Medi-Cal benefits, regardless of immigration status.
