Higher Medi-Cal Income Limits of 3.3% for 2024

The federal poverty level for 2024 increased 3.3% over 2023. This means that individuals and families can earn more money per month and retain their MAGI Medi-Cal eligibility. I review the monthly and annual income amounts for adults and children.

Thanks so much Kevin. Are those figures consistent in all Counties of CA?

Hi, thank you so much, it’s very helpful. Just a little confused, the workers calculate base on monthly paycheck or tax year income ? Every year renew they ask both information.

Hi Kevin thank you for this information. What about in my case my husband suffered a brain stroke. I’m the only income at home his in Edd disability. How much I need to make $ to qualify him for medical? I’m
Confused with all those terms and percentages.

Hi Kevin, the interest earned from investment will count as an income for MAGI MediCal and Covered California?

[victork]

Hi Kevin! Thank you for the very useful information. Can you clarify for me, please? Are these income limits gross or after tax?

It is so crazy we don't have nationalized medi-cal, and force employers to 100% pay for healthcare coverage if you do have a job... but they'd have to get rid of that estate claim bit at the end when you die. It would just make it so much easier if you lost your job. The whole system is really messed up.

Hi Kevin, is counties medi-cal the same as normal medi-cal? For example, can the kids get Kaiser coverage through counties medi-cal?

Hi Kevin, thank you for the details, but I have a question. I'm disabled and on SS, Social Security does not count the benefit as income. Does medical?
thanks!

Hi Kevin! Thank you for the detailed video. I wanted to get some clarification, I’m currently pregnant would I count my unborn baby in my household size?

[frugalorfrugalor]

Hi Kevin, when the kids are on medi-cal but the adults are on ACA, the ACA subsidy will be reduced by a fair amount since ACA will treat the family as just a household of 2 adults only. So the ACA premium will be higher for the 2 adults. Is that correct?

Hello! I hope you can answer some of my questions. I have medi-cal right now but I recently just got a second part time job and will be making around 3-4k a month after taxes. I been on medi-cal for 4 years now since the pandemic because I was in college and wasn't working much. My main job does not offer insurance but my second job offers medical insurance but I am afraid incase I leave my second job due to different reasons. If I stay on medi-cal, will I get in trouble by the government? It could be assumed I'm trying to evade having to pay extra for health care or if this is something like fraud? Do you know the consequences for not reporting or sending a lower paystub? Please advise, thanks.

I appreciate your YouTube channel. Thank you for sharing. Can you please give me some information that I'm not finding anywhere and when I called Medi-Cal I'm placed on hold for over an hour. This is my situation: I'm 76 years old drawing Social Security of $1, 909 per month and living in Kern County. I have no savings. My question is, what is the maximum I can make in earned income working without losing my Medi-Cal benefits? My work is sporadic. For example, I didn't have any income from September of 2023 through the remainder of the year. Thank you for your time.

Just subscribed very helpful vid! I have a question I’m on disability and have a monthly income of $1, 374.70 with a total savings of $110, 000 which is in a high yield savings account at 5% interest which generates me additional $458 income on top of my disability. Would this disqualify me as interest rates can fluctuate? If so is there a work around to qualify maybe by moving my money into somewhere that earns little to no interest and then apply and then move it back to the high yield savings afterwards? Or is that not recommended. Thanks!

Hello Kevin, I have 2 adults and 3 minor children, incomes $5773/mo gross, living in Northern California. I had two county workers each gave me different info, one said during last year renewal that we were all eligible for medical, and one told me just few days ago that both us adults are no longer eligible even no change in incomes. Could you tell us, are we eligible or not?

[Raumart.-ozqd]

Hi Kevin, i just got a letter saying that i did not qualify for magi, but i never apllied, does that mean my regular medical is also cancelled or how does this work?im very confused.

[maribrucraftsnfinds]

[sylvie]

I am so confused... I thought disabled people had the optoin to do the Working Disabled Medi-cal program and make up to $3300/mo or so?
