Update on SB-75 - 
Care for All Children
No earlier than May 2016, all low-income children in California will become eligible for full scope Medi-Cal regardless of immigration status under state policy. 

Many undocumented children are already enrolled in restricted scope Medi-Cal and will be transitioned to full scope coverage without a new application. The group of children transitioning from restricted scope to full scope Medi-Cal may include some children who are simultaneously enrolled in county-based Children's Health Initiatives (CHIs) i.e. the Healthy Kids program in Santa Barbara.

A panel discussion on Full Scope Medi-Cal for All Children will take place on May 12 in San Luis Obispo.  Click here for details.

Learn more by visiting the DHCS website or contact your local County Social Service office.
