Individual states may also offer enhanced Medicaid services, such as community-based care and nursing home diversion programs through Medicaid waivers.&nbsp; In California, a Medicaid-expansion state, the program is known as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coveredca.com/medi-cal/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.coveredca.com/medi-cal/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Medi-Cal</a>,&nbsp;and it’s administered through the Department of Health Care Services. To qualify for no-cost, long-term Medi-Cal services, seniors can earn up to&nbsp;$1,242 per month ($1,682 per couple) in income from&nbsp;pensions, alimony, wages and investments.&nbsp; Medi-Cal applicants must also have no more than $2,000 per person and $3,000 per couple (if both spouses are seeking coverage) in countable assets. If only one spouse in a couple is applying, the non-applicant can retain up to half of their joint assets, worth up to $126,420. Some specific assets are not included in the Medi-Cal limits, such as one vehicle, a prepaid burial contract and&nbsp;an owner-occupied home.
