PROTECTING MEDI-CAL COVERAGE IN THE FACE OF H.R. 1 & COMMENTS ON MAY REVISION PROPOSALS

Budget Priority Carlos Marquez III

 

The County Welfare Directors Association (CWDA) is providing our response to proposals included in the May Revision. We note that the May Revision provides county eligibility workers inadequate resources for the significant, ongoing needs of Medi-Cal clients in the face of H.R. 1, while simultaneously increasing penalties and expectations for performance measures, effectively setting up counties to fail during the most disruptive erosion of the social safety net in which they are at the frontlines.
