Basic Information

Beginning May 1, 2022, a new law in California will give full scope Medi-Cal to adults 50 years of age or older and immigration status does not matter. All other Medi-Cal eligibility rules, including income limits, will still apply.

This initiative, called Older Adult Expansion, is modeled after the Young Adult Expansion, which provided full scope Medi-Cal to young adults 19 through 25, inclusive. See the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) website for the Young Adult Expansion.

DHCS is working collaboratively with the County Welfare Directors Association of California, county social services agencies, Covered California, consumer advocates, and other interested parties to ensure a successful implementation.
