ACWDL 08-18: Implementation of the new Healthy Families to Medi-Cal presumptive eligibility program (5E) (4/29/2008)
As of July 2008 aid code 5E will replace 8E as the code for the Healthy Families to Medi-Cal presumptive eligibility program. 5E will not be an automated aid code by July 2008; it will be a manual process at first.

A NOA is sent once a Medi-Cal determination has been made, but ten days notice is not required. [Download]
