What is the Medi-Cal 250% California Working Disabled Program (250% CWD)?

The 250% CWD program provides full scope Medi-Cal to disabled individuals who work and have income that is too high to qualify for other Medi-Cal categories. For this program, you can have up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Level in countable income and still receive Medi-Cal benefits. Enrollees pay a monthly, sliding-scale premium for this health coverage. The 250% CWD Medi-Cal program became effective April 1, 2000.
