이전 위탁 청소년 프로그램에 대해 자주 묻는 질문
1. 가정 위탁 청소년(FFY)으로서 Medi-Cal 보험에 가입하려면 어떻게 해야 하나요?
You can apply for Medi-Cal by contacting your local county social services office and telling them that you were in foster care. You can call, mail in or fax a one-page simple form (MC 250A), or go in-person to the local county social services office to turn in the MC 250A. The county will decide if you are eligible for the Medi-Cal program for FFY based on a few simple questions. Eligible FFY are not required to provide any proof of income to get Medi-Cal. You must live in California to receive Medi-Cal. The MC 250A form is available online at: MC 250A.
Most counties have a specific phone number, staff, or office to help former FFY sign up. Or to find the telephone number and location of your nearest county social services office, go to County Contact List.
2. 위탁 보호를 받았다는 증거가 필요하나요?
No, you are not required to provide proof of being in foster care when you apply for Medi-Cal. It would be helpful to provide information about the county, state or tribe where you were in foster care. Also, please provide any paperwork, if you have any, regarding your foster care case to move the case along faster.
3. 저는 18세에 캘리포니아에서 위탁 보호를 받았습니다. 18세가 된 후 다른 주로 이사했습니다. 저는 이제 다시 캘리포니아에 살고 있습니다. Medi-Cal 를 FFY로 받을 수 있나요?
Yes, if you were in foster care at age 18 or older in any state or tribe and now live in California, you may qualify for the free Medi-Cal program for FFY until age 26.
4. 다른 주에 살았고, 그 주 또는 그 주의 부족에서 위탁 보호를 받고 있었습니다. 캘리포니아에서 Medi-Cal 받을 수 있나요?
If you were in foster care on your 18th birthday or later in another state or tribe and you are now under age 26, you may qualify for the Medi-Cal program for FFY. You will receive Medi-Cal benefits while the county verifies your former foster care status. You may continue to receive Medi-Cal up to 26. It would be helpful to give the county as much information as you can about your former foster care case.
5. 일반 Medi-Cal 신청서를 작성해야 하나요?
No, you do not need to complete the full application. Ask for the short one-page form for FFY. It is called the MC 250A. You can also download a copy of the form at: eligibility forms page
6. 직장을 통해 이미 보험에 가입한 경우에도 Medi-Cal 가입할 수 있나요?
Yes, you can have Medi-Cal and health insurance through a job at the same time.
Medi-Cal can be used to cover medical costs that your other health insurance does not cover.
7. 직업이 있는 경우 FFY용 Medi-Cal 프로그램 자격이 되나요?
Yes, if you left foster care when you were age18 or older and are still under age 26, you may be eligible to receive Medi-Cal until your 26th birthday. Your income and resources do not matter for this program.
8. FFY의 Medi-Cal 프로그램 최대 연령에 도달하면 어떻게 되나요?
Before your Medi-Cal coverage is terminated, the county must check to see if you qualify for Medi-Cal under a different program. If you are eligible for another Medi-Cal program, the county will put you in that program after it looks at any information needed to decide if you qualify for that program.
There are different ways to qualify for Medi-Cal. If the county cannot determine whether you will remain eligible for Medi-Cal with the information they have, the county may send you paperwork or ask you for additional information to decide if you still qualify for Medi-Cal. You may be asked to give income and tax information, or other information that will help the county decide if you can keep your Medi-Cal or can get other financial help to buy low-cost health insurance through Covered California. If the county decides that you are no longer eligible for Medi-Cal, you will get a Notice of Action and information about how to appeal if you disagree with the decision.
9. 응급실이나 다른 병원에 가서 치료를 받았습니다. 청구서를 보내준다고 하더군요. 이제 어떻게 해야 하나요?
If you are not on Medi-Cal, you or someone on your behalf should contact your county social services office and tell them that you want to enroll in the Medi-Cal program for FFY and need “retroactive coverage” to pay for medical services you received. Make sure to tell the county that you are a FFY and ask for Form MC 250A. If you need to pay for medical services you received anytime during the three months before you applied for Medi-Cal, make sure you check the box at the top of the MC 250A asking for “retroactive coverage.”

12. 2014년 1월 1일 이후에 위탁 보호를 떠난 경우 FFY 기간 동안 Medi-Cal 보장에 자동으로 등록되어야 합니까?
