Yes. Medi-Cal requires a yearly “check-in” and an update detailing any changes in financial status of the recipient that would alter the benefits package over the remaining year. This may be an unexpected inheritance, sale of assets by the well spouse, or any other inflow of cash or assets that are non-exempt. Usually, when unexpected or excess assets or income is received after qualifying for Medi-Cal, there is time to re-characterize the portion above the financial limits, thereby maintaining the uninterrupted ability to continue receiving benefits.
