Instructions to determine IHSS eligibility for “non-disabled” people with MAGI Medi-Cal

Under the ACA, 19 to 64 year olds who are neither disabled nor blind can be eligible for Medi-Cal if if their modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is below a certain amount.  There are several MAGI aid codes, many of which indicate eligibility for full-scope Medi-Cal with federal financial participation (FFP).  For such individuals who have not yet been determined to be disabled by CDSS or the Social Security Administration, they may still receive IHSS if they (1) meet the criteria for disability under MPP Section 30-780.2(b), and (2) have an assessed need for IHSS.  ACL 14-67.
