Important Medi-Cal Changes - Act Now! 

 

What is Happening? 

Starting January 1, 2026, adults 19 and older who have unsatisfactory immigration status will no longer be able to apply for Medi-Cal. 

If you are already enrolled before January 1, 2026, you can keep your coverage as long as you stay active and renew on time. 

What You Need To Do Now:

Enroll before January 1, 2026

  • If you don't already have Medi-Cal and may qualify, apply now!

  • Waiting until after the new year may be too late if you fall under this category.

Renew On Time!

You only have a 90-day grace period to complete your renewal once it's due.

If you miss the deadline: 

  • You'll lose your Medi-Cal coverage.

  • And you won't be able to reapply if you fall under the restricted immigration category.
