Will Steve Shorr Insurance help me at no additional charge?
Yes, but you must get a quote first and either have a release from Medi-Cal, like shown below or contact your Social Worker and get one. If you already have a Covered CA account, you must appoint us as your agent. After you get your quote, we can discuss your options by appointment.
What if I don’t have a Release – Notice of Action?
Medi-Cal is supposed to send you a notice of action FAQ’s . If not, contact your Social Worker and get one Scroll down for a sample letter. I do grant they they don’t give you a lot of time to get new coverage. Note also that loss of coverage qualifies you for a special enrollment period and you don’t have to wait for Open Enrollment, nor are you subject to the rule about having to enroll by the 15th to get coverage by the first.

I’ve been on medi-cal and recently qualified for Social Security Disability [SSDI?] and receive approx.$800 a month.
They [Social Security] also gave me a check for the time I should have already had it, which was for $25,000.
My mother passed away and left me her bank account. I think from what I have read that this won’t disqualify me from Social Security Disability because I didn’t earn the money through working. That’s great.
The problem is Medi-Cal. I don’t know how to approach it because I know I will need it, I’m unable to work, and in the Bay Area $800 is nothing now that I will have to pay $2000 a month in rent, that is what the inheritance was going to help me with.
What can I do to avoid being penalized by medi-cal? I’m afraid to tell them anything because I’m afraid they will say I owe them $$$$$. I was going to try to cancel or drop meds-cal for the time being because that money won’t carry me for too long.
I’m really confused. I would appreciate any info./advice/whatever you can offer.
Assets are no longer counted for MAGI Medi Cal.

my x wife just got approved for social security under widows benefits and gets $1,400 a month, $16,800/year.
she also has an adult disabled child who gets $585 SSA [SSI?] , $7,020 from the deceased parent as well, the child also works and get $300 every two weeks $7,800/year she only makes $5 hour she has down syndrome.
My question is they are cancelling the medi cal because she makes $8 to much it seems like the should both get medi cal to me
The child on SSI, shouldn’t have a problem staying on Medi Cal, regardless of income as long as he stays on SSI
