(11.14) Can my child still get Medi-Cal if she gets Social Security Survivor’s Benefits?

(11.14) Can my child still get Medi-Cal if she gets Social Security Survivor’s Benefits?

Maybe. With institutional deeming, Medi-Cal can evaluate your child’s eligibility without counting your income.

Medi-Cal will count the Social Security Survivor’s Benefits as the child’s own income. The Medi-Cal share of cost will be based on the child’s countable income over $600 per month.
