Who is eligible for CCS?
Your child may be eligible if he or she meets all four of the following requirements:
|
|
Age
Your child must be under 21 years of age. |
|
|
Residence
Your child must be a permanent resident of the California county where you apply. Your child’s residence is usually where you live.
|
|
Income
If your child is not already enrolled in Medi-Cal or the Healthy Families Program your income must be less than $40,000 per year, according to the adjusted gross income on your California income taxes. A child may be eligible when the family income is more than $40,000 if medical care for the child’s CCS condition is expected to cost the family more than 20 percent of the family’s yearly income. If your child is adopted and had a CCS-eligible condition at the time of adoption, your income will not matter. There is no financial eligibility requirement for CCS diagnostic services or the CCS Medical Therapy Program.

Medical conditions
Only certain conditions are eligible for CCS. In general, CCS covers medical conditions that are physically disabling or require medical, surgical, or rehabilitative services.
