Key drivers

  • recent 50-64 Medi-Cal certified-eligible trend is still drifting down
  • delay condition removes April 2027 community-engagement disenrollment pressure
  • California renewal operations and post-unwinding churn remain the main downside channel
  • ages 50-64 include many beneficiaries with exemptions or disability-linked eligibility
  • first-print CHHS/DHCS monthly vintage may later be revised

Resolution

rule
Resolve to the first DHCS/CHHS-published April 2027 statewide Medi-Cal certified eligibles count for age group 50-64 in the Medi-Cal Certified Eligibles Recent Trends monthly data, using the first posted dataset vintage even if DHCS/CHHS later revises April 2027. Convert persons to thousands by dividing by 1,000 and report using the agency's published precision. Do not use later revisions, county subtotals, FRED mirrors, CMS national enrollment, managed-care-only enrollment, or a different age band. The numeric forecast is evaluated only if the stated federal community-engagement deadline-delay condition is satisfied.
