Is there an income limit?
Yes. No-Cost Medi-Cal is based on monthly income after allowances for child care and working expenses.
See the Monthly Income Limit chart for the limits after allowances.
To be eligible, the family's monthly income after child care and working
expenses must be at or below the limit specified for the
family size. For example, for a family size of two, the family's
monthly income (after deductions for child care and working expenses)
must be at or below $750 to qualify.
