Key drivers

  • recent 50-64 Medi-Cal enrollment drift is negative
  • April 2027 is early in community-engagement implementation
  • older adult exemptions and disability/caregiver status dampen losses
  • California administrative implementation can delay disenrollment timing
  • first-print CHHS/DHCS vintage may later be revised

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 monthly data, using the agency's first posted dataset vintage even if DHCS/CHHS later revises the same April 2027 observation. Convert persons to thousands by dividing by 1,000 and report in thousands 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 condition is satisfied.
