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.
