RELIEF PAYMENTS FROM THE CARES ACT WILL NOT BE COUNTED AS We’ve had several questions regarding how the economic impact payments (EIP) coming from the federal government per the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,and Economic Recovery (CARES) Act will affect people’s eligibility for Medi-Cal, and other means-tested programs. MEDI-CAL (FOR PEOPLE WITH MEDICARE) Medi-Cal, the Medicaid program in California, provides health coverage to people with low-income and asset levels who meet certain eligibility requirements.While there are several ways to qualify for Medi-Cal, this section focuses only on Medi-Cal beneficiaries who also qualify for Medicare — individuals who are over a certain age and/ordisabled.
