Once a year, many KFHC members get a form in the mail from the county asking to update your family size and income. This is called Medi-Cal redetermination. The form is used to see if you can keep your Medi-Cal. During the last 2 years, many KFHC members have not had to fill out this form because of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). The COVID-19 PHE is coming to an end, and KFHC members will soon get the Medi-Cal redetermination forms again. KFHC members who get these forms must fill them out and return them by the date shown on the form. You may lose your Medi-Cal and KFHC if you do not complete and return the forms. Please be sure your county has your correct address. You may update your address: y By phone at 877-410-8812 y Online at benefitscal.com, where you can create an account and also upload your forms y By mail at P.O. Box 511, Bakersfield, CA 93302-9985 y In person at your county office. To find an office near you, visit kcdhs.org.
