How do I check my Medi-Cal renewal status?

All Medi-Cal recipients need to renew their coverage every year (starting in January 2027, it will be every six months). The county should mail you a letter or packet with renewal information for child’s Medi-Cal eligibility one to two months before the annual renewal is due. This packet usually includes the most current Medi-Cal application as well as a list of required documents. Submit your renewal paperwork by mail, phone, in person, or online before the due date so that your child doesn’t lose coverage.

You can check on your child’s enrollment status on the BenefitsCal website. If for some reason you do not receive a renewal packet, you can check the website and see whether there is a notice there regarding renewal and potentially complete the process online. You can also reach out to your county Medi-Cal office if you have questions about when your renewal date is. (You can look up your local office here.)
