Update your Medi-Cal

During the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), your health coverage has remained active regardless of any changes in your circumstances. Your county may check to see if you still qualify for free or low-cost Medi-Cal. Don’t wait for your county to contact you. If any of your circumstances have changed, tell your county Medi-Cal office. Keep yourself and your family covered.

If you or someone in your household gets a letter from the county asking for information about your Medi-Cal coverage, please provide that information. This will help the county make sure that your Medi-Cal coverage remains active.   

Report any changes in your household since March 2020 to your local county office. Reporting changes may help you continue to get Medi-Cal coverage. These changes include:

• Changes to your income.
• Disability status.
• Phone number.
• Mailing address.
• If someone in your household becomes pregnant.
• If someone moves into your home.
• Anything else that may affect your Medi-Cal eligibility.

You can report changes in person, by phone or by mail. You can also update your contact information online at www.coveredca.com or www.benefitscal.com.
