TERM-REAS

Eligibility Termination Reason. When submitted on a county transaction, this data element identifies the reason a recipient is terminated from Medi-Cal or CalFresh. The TERM-REAS is also system-generated by MEDS processing to indicate the reason a recipient is placed in Hold status or to indicate another action taken at the State level.

Note: MEDS no longer accepts Term Reason 99 for any online EW transactions, appropriate Term Reason 01-98 is to be used.  The EW batch transactions will not be affected, and Term Reason 99 will be allowed. 

Refer to MEDS QRG available on Program web page, MEDS Reference Materials for a listing of TERM REAS codes.
