Currently, all California residents who meet eligibility requirements receive full scope Medi-Cal benefits regardless of immigration status.
Beginning January 1, 2026, adults 19 years and older with an unsatisfactory immigration status (UIS), that apply on or after January 1, 2026, will receive restricted Medi-Cal, if eligibility criteria is met.
Beneficiaries with UIS who applied for Medi-Cal before January 1, 2026, and were found eligible, will continue receiving Full-Scope Medi-Cal from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026. Starting on July 1, 2026, they will transition to Full-Scope Medi-Cal with No Dental. All primary care services and medications will remain covered, except dental services.
Children (0–18) and pregnant persons remain eligible to apply for full-scope MC regardless of immigration status.
If you are disabled but have not been determined disabled by the Social Security Administration (SSA), you may complete a disability evaluation conducted by the Disability Determination Service Division – State Programs (DDSD-SP).
Ask your Eligibility Worker about this process.
Your Medi-Cal eligibility must be renewed at least once a year.
