Is this normal? I'm being told that a person may not qualify for medi-cal if he/she owns a vacant lot next to their home, so they are pursuing a lot merger. I have merged lots of parcels in the past, for lots of different reasons, but not this one. Is that only because I live (and work) under a rock?
Thanks,
Merging Parcels for Medi-Cal Purposes

I don't know medi-cal rules themselves, but I do know that anything beyond primary residence is usually looked at as investment type of an asset, and subject to many different legal and tax rules, so I would not be surprised.

CBarrett is on target. To qualify for Medi-Cal a person has to prove their asset ownership is small, homes are exempt from the asset count, but vacant land is not.
Please don’t sue.
