Important Information About Your Medi-Cal Coverage

If you currently receive health insurance through Medi-Cal or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), you must provide the county with your updated information so you can continue receiving important information about your Medi-Cal coverage.                              

Why is this happening?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, all Medi-Cal or CHIP recipients were continuously enrolled in health insurance coverage without needing to reapply for benefits. Due to a recent federal law, continuous Medi-Cal enrollment ended on March 31, 2023, so you need to take steps to ensure your health insurance coverage will continue if you are eligible.
