My medical [Medi Cal] and Cal Fresh have been terminated and
I need services covered for the last 2 months since I was unaware it had ended but still being treated
All I can suggest is to reapply (above) and/or find the renewal forms MC 216 and fill those out.
Medi Cal has a provision to go back three months from the date of application, so you ought to be OK.
Here’s our webpage on Cal Fresh and other services
If you have questions post here and we can see if we can find an answer. Otherwise here’s Medi Cal’s contact info.
Quiero aplicar para alguna cobertura de medí-cal
I want to apply for some medi-cal coverage
The Medi Cal website isn’t working right now or at least not working from Israel. I’m on vacation.
If you are in Los Angeles, see the link above and try enrolling online there. There should be an option for Spanish. I can’t tell as the site is down.
You can also try http://www.benefitscal.com/
Here’s Medi Cal’s contact page – hopefully there someone speaks Spanish.
I need to see what is going on with my Medi-Cal
If you are in LA County, try their contact info above.
Have you set up an ONLINE account? See instructions above.

How do I apply for Medi Cal?
We are not authorized Medi-Cal agents. Try watching the video’s and explanations above. If you still have a question, post it here and we will see if we can look it up for you.
We don’t get paid to help people enroll in Medi-Cal, thus we don’t provide telephone support, Zoom meetings or Face to Face Visits.

I don’t have a tax return for 2019 – not filed yet?
Need this figure? Not likely to be close to this year – will be higher for that year , should be much lower for this present year – ballpark puts me under 18k I think?
Depends on how much I earn or collect in unemployment going forward.- not really sure what will happen at all. Still working with greatly reduced hours – sporadic schedule – looking for new position.
So we can go over this when we talk – what documentation would you need?
How quickly could I get coverage – paying cobra right now.
My present insurance is with Anthem Blue Cross.
Filing a tax return is mandatory to get subsidies! Learn more
If you are under $18k in income there are no subsidies. You would know that if you used the quote and subsidy calculator.
Under $18k annual or on a monthly basis would qualify you for Medi-Cal. If you’re in Los Angeles County you can enroll following the link above. Here’s the link for other CA Counties. We do not get compensated to help you with Medi-Cal enrollment. Medi-Cal has paid staff to help you.
Unemployment income is quite confusing as to how it counts as income for Medi-Cal or Covered CA.
Check out these links for clarification:

If you qualify for Covered CA you could get coverage for 8/1/2020 under the COVID 19 Special Enrollment Period – MAYBE.
This is why I don’t like phone consultations! It’s very complicated!
The COVID 19 enrollment is only for those who don’t have coverage. As an authorized agent of Covered CA – Peter Lee the Executive Director threatened all the agents at a conference with TERMINATION and reporting to the Department of Insurance if we enrolled anyone not entitled.
If you enroll in Medi-Cal effective date can go back 3 months from the date you apply.
When did you lose your group health coverage?
Maybe you can get a special enrollment if it was within the last 63 days?

I tried to fill out medi-cal application on the dpss website.
It’s Not letting me thru.
What am I doing wrong?
Try watching all the instructional video’s above and see if that helps you. If you send us a screen shot and your log in information, we can see what we can do. It’s difficult to do a lot as we don’t get paid to help the public with Medi Cal. We don’t even get “lip service” from Covered CA. They only tell us to call the county. I don’t call anyone!

I tried using your Covered CA quote engine http://www.quotit.net/eproIFP/webPages/infoEntry/InfoEntryZip.asp?license_no=0596610 for all companies, plans, subsidy calculation, etc.
This is all confusing???
What part of this is confusing? Would you please let us know, so that we can improve our website for you and other visitors.
If you are trying to enroll in Medi-Cal, see the page above for the link to Medi-Cal Los Angeles County website. https://yourbenefits.laclrs.org/ybn/Index.html
Yes, I know Covered CA advertises about being the one stop shop, but they don’t pay agents to help Medi Cal recipients. At two of the recent trainings where they had a speaker from Medi Cal, the speaker said that the best way to apply was using THEIR enrollment website, which if you visit mine above, the link to Medi-Cal’s is there.
My quote engine doesn’t really do Medi-Cal. It may give you quotes, for the coverage, without any subsidies. If you did qualify for Covered CA, the application is done separately, not though the quote engine.
I applied last week for Medi-Cal through Covered CA.
I made both daughter a doctors appointment for them to get their vaccines on the 24th.
The receptionist said their medi-cal still isn’t active.
Is there anything I can do to speed up the process or so I just wait?
First of all, Medi-Cal will go back 3 months and pay bill prior to your effective date, which I believe we did. Double check your application.
2nd how about writing to Covered CA [email protected] and asking them to pay their agents so that we have more incentive to help people enroll with Medi-Cal. One can only do so much work Pro Bono.
3rd try contacting Medi-Cal at the email addresses on the Los Angeles Enrollment Page and the Medi-Cal Contact Page.
4th have you complied with all the proofs that Covered CA has asked for?

How long would it take to recieve the medical [Medi-Cal] card
We deal with that issue on the effective date and temporary ID card page. Did you apply through Covered CA. Instructions are there to get a temporary ID card.
I’ve been trying to find an address to mail in our completed Medi-Cal Annual Redetermination Form (MC210) but cannot locate that address. We live in Los Angeles (city) in California. Hopefully I can get a quick response as the deadline is fast approaching!
Thanks for your question. We will fix the link to the Los Angeles office locator for DPSS. I suggest you just mail to the office nearest you. I don’t get paid to help people with Medi-Cal, nor do they support agents, so this is the best I can do.
My purse was stolen and my cards for me and my son were in my purse how do I go about on getting a replacement benefits ID card
Q: My Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card was lost or stolen. How do I get a new one?
A: If the EBT card is lost or stolen, it is the cardholder’s responsibility to call the EBT Customer Service Center at (877) 328-9677 to report the problem as soon as possible. A person’s account can only be used with a valid EBT card and Personal Identification Number (PIN). Any transaction conducted with a valid card and PIN is the client’s responsibility, even if the transaction was done without the client’s permission or knowledge. That is why it is very important to protect the secrecy of the PIN.
Once the matter is reported, the EBT card will be deactivated so the benefits cannot be used by anyone else.
You will also have to contact your county worker to have your EBT card replaced. Copied from
