Unmarried pregnant women under the age of 21 and not otherwise eligible for Medi-Cal can be eligible for full-scope or pregnancy-related Medi-Cal. Such potential beneficiaries must either be living with parents and not filing a tax return for the year, or will be claimed as a tax dependent by parents for the tax year. For this group, DHCS will disregard all household income. Beneficiaries will be assigned to aid codes M7 or M8, depending on immigration status.
This program is effective August 1, 2016.
