Claiming parents as dependents, affect medi-cal eligibility?

Hello!

 

My parents are both receive social security income, medicare, and medi-cal. Our mortgage is paid off and my parents do not receive any other type of income except for SSI. I am wondering if I can file as head of household and claim my parents as dependents as I pay for their bills and utilities. My MAGI is $100,000+ and am wondering if that would affect their medi-cal eligibility. 

 

Thanks!
