This letter provides temporary guidance to counties on certain workarounds necessary to process MAGI Medi-Cal eligibility while the SAWS and CalHEERS interface is being improved.  This letter addresses how to manually process MAGI Medi-Cal applications with two primary tax filers on the same application as well as how to process cases that are rejected by CalHEERS because the applicant does not meet the 5 year immigration bar but is eligible for Medi-Cal per California rules.  To see the entire letter, click here.

This MEDIL clarifies for counties that individuals who are eligible under MAGI Medi-Cal can receive LTCSS under their MAGI Medi-Cal full scope aid code and also provides guidance to counties in situations where one LTC spouse is non-MAGI and one is MAGI. View the letter here.

This letter provides guidance to counties on: 1) processing pending CalHEERS applications for individuals with current Medi-Cal eligibility; 2) ex parte review of pending CalHEERS Medi-Cal applications using existing CalWORKS and CalFresh cases; and 3) verifying state residency and remote identity proofing procedures until the CalHEERS/SAWS interface is functional.
