Healthcare systems are essential to American society. Everyone’s goal is to curb the negative impact of the lack of a free health program at the national level. Here we tell you regarding one of the most effective state programs related to medical care.
Programs like Medi-Cal, which is the same as Medicaid in the state of California, arise from that very need. Medi-Cal offers health coverage to people of any age who meet certain income eligibility requirements.
There are currently multiple ways to qualify for Medi-Cal. Here we focus this time on the ways to access the program for Medi-Cal beneficiaries who also qualify for Medicare. These are people who are over a certain age or are disabled.
Those who qualify for both Medicare and full-scope Medi-Cal are known as “dual eligibles” or “Medi-Medis.”
The California Working Disabled (CWD) 250% program helps working people with disabilities. If you qualify, as of July 1, 2022, a California law allows you to receive full Medi-Cal coverage with a $0 monthly premium.
What are the eligibility requirements?
These are the requirements to qualify for the Medi-Cal program.
-Meet the medical requirements of the Social Security definition of disability.
-Be working and generating income (this can be a part-time job).
-Have countable income below 250% of the federal poverty level (in 2024, this equates to $3,158 USD/month for individuals or $4,280 USD/month for couples; these figures include the $20.00 USD exemption).
Please note that disability income does not count toward the limit. This includes the following aspects:
-Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
-Worker’s compensation
-California State Disability Insurance (CSDI)
-Federal, state and private disability benefits.
