Craig v. Bonta Beneficiaries
The Superior Court in the Craig v. Bonta lawsuit prohibited the DHCS from terminating the Medi-Cal benefits of beneficiaries discontinued from Supplemental Security Income SSI/SSP. The Superior Court ruled that SB 87 Redetermination Process must be implemented for these beneficiaries. These beneficiaries may be children placed FC who need an SB 87 Redetermination Process completed.
