What do I write on expenses/tax deductions part of
the MC-216 Medi-Cal Redetermination form?
Medi-Cal under ObamaCare/ACA/Health Care Reform is based on MAGI Income, line 37 – 8b of your Tax Return and add in Social Security, Foreign Income & Tax Exempt Interest.
I would venture that your income and expenses are the same rules as filing your tax return, even if you are under the filing threshold. Plus, the MC 216 form under expenses, even says tax deductions.
Medi-Cal - Re-determination - #MC216
We may need some information about people in your household who live with you or are listed on your tax return, who do not have Medi-Cal and who do not want to apply for Medi-Cal.Sample MC 216
Please note that, Medi-Cal wants to cover everyone and may go beyond the law to gather information to do that. There are also many other programs that Medi-Cal has that you might qualify for and no one would know unless they asked. Such as:

Hi,
Just wonder if income on MC216 referring to the new calendar year or the past one? It’s confusing since this is the 1st time I do this annual report. Thank you
What specific questions are you asking about?
In general, I’d say it’s going forward as that is what MAGI Income for Covered CA subsidies is based on. Also, if anything changes, you are mandated to notify Medi Cal within 10 days.
Please note that I’m not an authorized Medi Cal representative and do not speak on their behalf.
Did you want to add life insurance to your program?
Thank you for replying.
I talked to DPSS worked and she clarified the income to be on renewal form is not previous year’s, but expected income for current calendar year.
What address do I return the MC 216 Spanish 4/2015 form?
My best guess would be to your County Social worker. Here’s all the contact information I have for Medi Cal. https://medi-cal.healthreformquotes.com/contact-info/
