Section 50301.5 - Opportunity to Document Satisfactory Immigration Status

(a) Alien applicants for full Medi-Cal benefits must present documents from INS or an order issued by the District Director of INS, the Executive Office of Immigration Review, or a federal court which serve as reasonable evidence of satisfactory immigration status for Medi-Cal purposes. After they are informed of this fact, they shall have 30 calendar days, or the time it actually takes the county department to process their Medi-Cal applications, whichever is longer, to submit such documents. The 30-day period begins at the time the applicant submits a completed form MC 13 (5/89) containing a declaration in writing, under penalty of perjury, which attests to his or her status as an alien.

(b) Applicants who do not present documentation indicating satisfactory immigration status within the period prescribed in subsection (a), are eligible for restricted Medi-Cal benefits if they meet all other program requirements.

(c) The county department shall provide adequate notice to the individual of any adverse action and shall accord to the individual an opportunity for a hearing in accordance with the Department of Social Services Manual of Policies and Procedures sections 22-017, 22-021 and 22-022.
