Has anyone had a problem with Medi-Cal terminating their benefits while pregnant?

Question

I received a notice from Medi-Cal asking me to mail a letter in proving I do not work, which I did! I sent the documents they asked for, I made the mistake of not sending it in certified mail! Now Medi-Cal is saying that never received that letter and my benefits will be terminated next month. I am going to appeal! Even worse my worker had originally told me not to send those letters in and had me sign an affidavit stating I was unemployed! I sent the letters in anyways because I received a 2nd notice! I am 6 1/2 months pregnant, can they just take my health care away like this ?!?!? Advice please

Answer 1

Yes, they can terminate you if they don't receive the documentation they require. BUT if you send in the documents-or better yet, take them into your worker-you will be re-instated (retro-actively) so there will not be a break in coverage.

As long s your case is not closed, you do not need to appeal. Just give them what they are asking for.

Answer 2

Yes, they can.  

If they aren't terminating until next month, I'd get to the post office today, and send something certified, return receipt.
