If my child qualifies for the Medi-Cal waiver, do I still need to provide information about parent assets?

Published: Feb. 27, 2026Updated: Feb. 27, 2026

Yes, even if your child qualifies for the waiver, Medi-Cal will ask for information about your financial assets to show that parent resources are over the dedicated amount. They’re looking for information to show that your family would be ineligible for Medi-Cal based on income.
