Qualifying for Medi-Cal

Before you apply for Medi-Cal, be sure you understand the Medi-Cal guidelines. Here are 3 of the most common misconceptions about qualifying for Medi-Cal…

* You must “spend down” to poverty level
* There’s a limit on how much you can own
* There’s a limit on how much income you can have

Many people assume they must be without any assets before they can meet Medi-Cal resource guidelines. A person applying for Medi-Cal can legally rearrange their assets and qualify for Medi-Cal benefits, without spending all their money, or gifting away all their assets.

There are legal and ethical strategies that protect assets of the estate, while allowing qualification of Medi-Cal long term care benefits. Planning for Seniors designs funding strategies that allow our clients to obtain Medi-Cal benefits.
