If I receive Supplemental Security Income/State Supplemental Payment (SSI/SSP) am I eligible for Medi-Cal?
Yes, the State of California automatically provides Medi-Cal for SSI/SSP recipients. You know you receive SSI/SSP benefits if you receive your Social Security benefits on the first of the month. You do not need to apply for Medi-Cal separately. If you receive regular Social Security and receive your benefits on the third of the month or after, you must apply for Medi-Cal separately. See “How do I apply?
