2026 Federal Poverty Guidelines
Effective April 1, 2026, the maximum household income has increased to 600% FPL.
2026 Program Income Eligibility Requirement
To be eligible for the program, individuals must have a Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) that is above 138% Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and below 600% FPL (column B and C in the table below). If your income is below 138% FPL you may be eligible for MAGI Medi-Cal.
How to read the table
- Identify the number of people in your household in column A.
- Your household size includes your spouse, registered domestic partner, and any dependent(s) that you and/or your spouse or registered domestic partner claim on your tax return.
- To continue to be eligible for the medication/insurance assistance program, your income must be more than column B* and must be equal to or less than column C.
- Example: A married couple with no dependents is a household size of 2. This household has an income of $87,100. The client enrolled in medication and/or insurance assistance is eligible.
- Example: A single person living with 3 roommates is a household size of 1. This household has an income of $17,775. The client is no longer eligible for medication/insurance assistance and should apply for MAGI Medi‐Cal.*
