COVID-19 Update

Starting in March 2020, individuals and families who were active on Medi-Cal remained enrolled in the program due to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). During the PHE, most Medi-Cal redeterminations were on hold and were not required to be processed.  However, the PHE may be ending soon, and Alameda County will need to start processing redeterminations for all individuals and families. If your contact information or household circumstances have changed, please update your information by contacting us today! This may help you keep your Medi-Cal coverage after the end of the COVID-19 PHE.
