Medi-Cal
Santa Clara County application assistance
Medi-Cal is California's public health coverage program for eligible residents. In Santa Clara County, eligibility is based mainly on income, and you can apply at any time of year. Some Medi-Cal rules changed in 2026 and additional changes begin in 2027, so use the County or DHCS pages for current eligibility details.
Eligibility depends on factors such as income, California residency, age, household circumstances, and, for some applicants, immigration status or assets. A County Eligibility Worker makes the final eligibility decision. Apply through BenefitsCal or Santa Clara County and confirm current requirements because Medi-Cal rules are changing.
