Slide 1:
Starting January 1, 2026, California will freeze new Medi-Cal enrollments for some undocumented adults.
Slide 2:
The freeze affects adults 19+, non-pregnant, without satisfactory immigration status under state-funded expansions.
Slide 3:
Current full-scope Medi-Cal members stay covered if annual renewal is completed on time.
Slide 4:
Children under 19 and pregnant people remain fully eligible, regardless of immigration status.
Slide 5:
A 90-day “grace period” allows fixing late renewals or missing paperwork to maintain coverage.
