Medi-Cal eligibility: assets.

Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid Program provisions. Existing law requires, with some exceptions, a Medi-Cal applicant's or beneficiary's income and resources be determined based on modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) , as specified. Existing law prohibits the use of an assets or resources test for individuals whose income eligibility is determined based on modified adjusted gross income.
