Important Legal Update: Major Medi-Cal Rule Reversal Coming January 1, 2026

A major change to California’s Medi-Cal eligibility rules is coming. Starting January 1, 2026, the law will revert back to stricter 2022 standards—dramatically limiting the ability to qualify for Long Term Care Medi-Cal assistance in skilled nursing facilities.

This means thousands of Californians currently receiving Medi-Cal benefits—or those planning for future care—could lose access or be forced to spend down their assets unnecessarily. But with proactive planning, that risk can be reduced or even avoided entirely.

Join us for a free legal webinar where elder law experts from Sandoval Legacy Group explain the new rules, what they mean for your family, and how to protect your assets before it’s too late.

Who Should Attend:

- Individuals currently receiving Long Term Care Medi-Cal in a skilled nursing facility
- Family members managing finances for loved ones in nursing homes or convalescent hospitals
- Anyone who had a Medi-Cal Asset Protection Plan prepared in the past
- Married couples where one spouse is in or approaching nursing home care
- Families concerned about estate recovery—when the state attempts to claim a loved one’s remaining assets after death

What You’ll Learn:

- What’s changing in the Medi-Cal laws effective January 1, 2026
- How the 2024 rules differ from what’s coming—and why planning ahead matters
- The impact on people already receiving Long Term Care Medi-Cal
- How to minimize asset loss and avoid future disqualification
- What families can do now to protect what they’ve worked for
