CA AB2201

Requires Medi-Cal eligibility redeterminations every 6 months instead of 12 months for "Medicaid expansion adults" (individuals aged 19-64 with income up to 138% of the federal poverty level), conforming to federal law enacted July 4, 2025

Exempts certain individuals from the 6-month redetermination requirement as specified under federal law (42 U.S.C. § 1396a(xx)(9)(A)(ii)(II))

Counties must verify income and assets at renewal without requesting additional documentation from beneficiaries when specific conditions are met, including when prior income was verified at or below 100% of federal poverty level and no contradictory information exists

Prepopulated renewal forms must be sent at least 60 days before both annual and semiannual redetermination dates when counties cannot determine continued eligibility through existing data sources

Creates new county duties that constitute a state-mandated local program, with reimbursement to be made if the Commission on State Mandates determines costs are mandated by the state
