Kaiser Dues Subsidy Program
The Kaiser Dues Subsidy Program provides Kaiser health care coverage for a sliding-scale fee to former CalWORKs Employment Services (CWES) participants who are now employed.
This program is not to be confused with the Kaiser coverage that may be available to MC clients under managed care as part of the Santa Clara Family Health Plan.
Eligibility Criteria
Two years of reduced cost health care coverage may be available to qualified individuals who are employed and meet the following conditions:
- Have been CWES participants (those who have only registered at Employment Services are not eligible).
- Have been terminated from CW due to unsubsidized employment (increased wages, etc.).
- Do not qualify for Transitional Medi-Cal (TMC) or other MC programs with no SOC, OR
- Are being terminated from TMC.
- Are within Kaiser's income and asset guidelines.
- Work for an employer who does not contribute to the cost of a medical care plan.
- Reside within Kaiser's service area.
Individuals with a SOC or restricted MC are potentially eligible. Certain dependents of qualified individuals may also be covered.
How To Apply
Potentially eligible individuals must contact Kaiser Permanente directly at (800) 255-5053. Kaiser will send an enrollment packet and determine eligibility. No medical review is required.
Kaiser will require the client's termination or denial notice of TMC as verification of eligibility to the program.
