Do you have Medi-Cal or know someone who does?
The end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) declaration also means Medi-Cal will resume its annual renewal screenings to make sure people continue to qualify. This is called the Medi-Cal Redetermination. You are encouraged to act before you find out you are without coverage when you need it most.
