Medi-Cal
Important changes to Medi-Cal rules
As of May 1, 2022, Medi-Cal is available to people who are 50 years of age or older who meet all Medi-Cal eligibility criteria, and immigration status does not matter.
These changes also let people keep more property and qualify for Medi-Cal.
Ask your local county office.
