The elimination of asset limits for all Non-MAGI Medi-Cal programs, including Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs) and Long-Term Care (LTC).

OVERPAYMENTS DUE TO EXCESS PROPERTY

EWs must continue to follow the process for reporting any potential non-property overpayments to the DHCS Investigations Branch.

Activities related to overpayments that occurred prior to January 1, 2024, including computations, reporting or referring, investigations, prosecutions, and collections, may continue after January 1, 2024, or until DHCS considers the matter resolved or closed.

Potential overpayments related to increased or unreported income, and failure to report other health coverage are still required to be computed and reported. Continue to follow the processes for computing these overpayments.
