Can I receive Medically Needy Medi-Cal if I am married?
Yes. If you are married and both you and your spouse are eligible for Medically Needy Medi-Cal, then the maintenance need level for two persons is used. If your spouse is not eligible for Medically Needy Medi-Cal, then Medi-Cal uses deeming rules to determine if you are eligible for the program. Contact your local county Medi-Cal office for more information about how deeming rules work and how they can affect your eligibility for this program.
