The first change is that more people will be able to get full scope Medi-Cal benefits as immigration status no longer matters.
Previous changes were made so that full scope Medi-Cal was made available for young adults up to age 26 and older adults 50 and over. The gap is now being closed to cover adults ages 26 to 49.
All other eligibility requirements will remain the same and Medi-Cal is not considered a public charge for immigration purposes.
For more information on the adult expansion visit this page.
The second change occurring is the elimination of the requirement to verify assets. For applicants and beneficiaries, starting January 01, 2024 assets will no longer be required to determine your new or ongoing eligibility.
For more information on the asset elimination please visit this page.
If you have questions, need help applying or renewing your benefits, please contact Social Services.

Cambios muy pronto para Medi-Cal - ¡Esté Informado!
LOWER LAKE, Calif. — A partir del 1 de enero de 2024, habrá cambios en el programa de Medi-Cal para ampliar la cobertura a más personas.
El primer cambio es que más personas podrán obtener beneficios completos de Medi-Cal ya que el estatus migratorio no importa. Cambios anteriores fueron que dieron Medi-Cal completo para adultos jóvenes de hasta 26 años y adultos mayores de 50 años o más. Ahora estamos cerrando la brecha para cubrir a adultos de 26 a 49 años. Todos los demás requisitos de elegibilidad seguirán siendo los mismos y Medi-Cal NO se considera una carga pública para propósitos de inmigración. Para obtener más información sobre la expansión para adultos, visite Adult-Expansion.
El segundo cambio es la eliminación del requisito de verificar sus recursos. Para los solicitantes y beneficiarios, a partir del 1 de enero de 2024 ya no se requerirán para determinar su elegibilidad nueva o actual.

Fire restrictions were originally initiated on June 28 to curb the risk of wildfire. The rescinded fire order is available on the website.
Public land visitors can again use campfires outside of developed campgrounds and posted recreation sites. Recreational target shooting may also resume in designated areas. Visitors are encouraged to check weather conditions for Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches to avoid shooting in hot, dry and windy conditions.
“Due to cooler fall weather conditions and declining wildfire danger, we are lifting seasonal fire restrictions,” said Ukiah Field Manager Nicholas Lavrov. “While weather conditions are no longer causing high wildfire danger, we still urge everyone to Recreate Responsibly to help minimize wildfire potential when visiting public lands.”
The public is reminded to remain cautious and practice good fire safety to help prevent wildfire.
Good fire-prevention safety tips include keeping vehicles off dry grass or brush; carrying a fire extinguisher, shovel and water; and getting a permit for any campfire or use of portable gas stoves. California campfire permits are available free online or at BLM, U.S. Forest Service and Cal Fire offices.
The statewide Fire Prevention Order remains in place for BLM-managed public lands in California.
Recreational target shooters are reminded that hot bullet fragments and exploding targets can spark a wildfire. Tracer round ammunition and incendiary devices are not allowed on BLM-managed public lands. Consider using paper targets to eliminate sparks. Recreational target shooters are required to pack out all spent shells, brass and targets. More information on safe recreational target shooting is available on the BLM website.
For more information on preventing wildfires and additional tips for keeping campfires and target shooting safe, visit ReadyForWildfire.org or call the Ukiah Field Office at 707-468-4000. The field office can also provide additional information on public lands available for target shooting.
