Dear Friends,
Are you or a family member enrolled in Medi-Cal? If so, act now to ensure you maintain coverage for the following year.
Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid health insurance program for individuals with limited financial resources. It offers free or low-cost health care coverage to those eligible.
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, annual Medi-Cal re-enrollment was paused in March 2020, allowing individuals to keep their healthcare coverage continuously. This period of continuous coverage expired on March 31, 2023.
Starting April 2023, you may be required to take action to ensure that you keep Medi-Cal coverage for the following year, by verifying your contact and eligibility information to re-enroll with Alameda Social Service Agencies, which oversees Medi-Cal in Assembly District 18.
Alameda Social Service Agency has already begun mailing Medi-Cal re-enrollment packets to recipients depending on their individual renewal date, making it vital to verify that the agency has your updated contact information.
This e-alert provides steps and resources to update your contact information to ensure successful re-enrollment in Medi-Cal.
Yours in Service,
Mia Bonta
Assemblymember, 18th District

Section 1A: Steps to Maintain Medi-Cal Coverage:
- Update Medi-Cal Contact Information
Starting April 2023, the Alameda County Social Service Agency has begun mailing:
- Renewal packets for individuals who need to confirm their eligibility by providing more information.
- Notices that your Medi-Cal Coverage has been successfully renewed.
In order to receive your renewal or confirmation message, verify that your contact information is correct by logging into the Alameda County Social Services Case Website or through Medi-Cal’s website.
This information includes Name, Phone Number, Email, and Physical Address.
- Check Your Mail
The Alameda County Social Service Agency has already begun sending out both yellow renewal packets and confirmations of successful Medi-Cal renewal.
If your information is correctly inputted but you still have not received a letter, it may still be on route. The letter from your county should arrive around the same time as when you have received similar letters in past years, prior to the COVID-19 continuance.
- Enter Your Eligibility Information
If you receive a renewal packet, complete it as soon as possible and return it through the mail or
