2024 Medi-Cal Expansion: Ages 26-49
Effective January 1, 2024, the new Medi-Cal expansion extended full coverage to individuals aged
26 through 49, regardless of immigration status, if they meet other eligibility
criteria. This expansion signifies a step toward more inclusive healthcare
in California.
Immigration status doesn't affect eligibility for Medi-Cal
Key Points for Existing Medi-Cal Beneficiaries:
Automatic Enrollment: If you're currently on restricted Medi-Cal due to immigration status,
you'll be automatically enrolled in full-scope Medi-Cal.
No Need for a New Application: Existing restricted Medi-Cal recipients don't need to reapply.
The Impact of Medi-Cal on Immigration Status
Utilizing Medi-Cal benefits under this expansion does not affect an individual's
immigration status, in accordance with DHS and USCIS guidelines. The Federal
Government has issued a final public charge rule, which limits its application
and removes barriers to accessing public benefits for most immigrants.

CalHHS Public Charge Guide.
