COVID PHE and Medicaid unwinding – How can you take action right now?

Use the flyers here to spread the word that Medi-Cal enrollees should inform Medi-Cal about changes to income, phone number, household size, and especially their mailing address.

Anyone who receives a letter from the county asking for information about Medi-Cal coverage should provide the requested information in a timely manner. Keeping information current will help maintain Medi-Cal coverage or with a smooth transition to another coverage option.

Medi-Cal enrollees should open an account on MyBenefitsCalWin.org to update information and complete annual recertifications online.

If you’re looking for additional information about this process, the following sites are recommended:
