​​​Asset Limits

Get Medi-Cal​

Asset limits have increased. A new law means there will be no asset limits starting in 2024. 

If you apply for Medi-Cal in 2023:

  • Medi-Cal will consider assets and income information as part of the application process.
  • The current asset limit is $130,000 for one person.
  • Each additional household member adds $65,000 to the asset limit. Up to 10 members can be in a household.
  • Medi-Cal will also consider income information (including income from property). 

If you apply for Medi-Cal in 2024: 

  • Applications will not ask for asset information starting on January 1, 2024.
  • Medi-Cal will consider income information but will not consider assets.
