AB 2201: Medi-Cal: eligibility redetermination.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 15, 2026

What AB 2201 does, verified August 15, 2026

This bill aims to conform California's Medi-Cal program to federal law by implementing a 6-month redetermination requirement for eligible beneficiaries. The bill would make Medi-Cal expansion adults undergo a redetermination every 6 months, instead of annually, to reflect changes in federal Medicaid eligibility rules. Counties would need to gather relevant information available to them and verify countable income and assets at renewal without requesting additional documentation if certain conditions are met. The bill would also require counties to make conforming changes to related provisions. If the commission on state mandates determines that the bill contains mandated costs, reimbursement for those costs would be made pursuant to the state's reimbursement procedures.
