*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015
Bill
Summary: AB 1114 would define the "forms and notices" that are
required to be translated into threshold languages as part of
the application and enrollment process for Medi-Cal and coverage
through Covered California.
Fiscal
Impact:
Unknown costs to make programmatic changes to information
technology systems (General Fund, federal funds, special
fund). Through the CalHEERs system, eligibility determinations
and notifications for Medi-Cal and Covered California are
largely automated. Currently, CalHEERs has only been
programmed to issue redetermination forms or notices of action
in English or Spanish (depending on the applicant's stated
language preference). In order to issue redetermination forms,
notices of action, and other documents in the
AB 1114 (Bonilla) Page 1 of
?
applicant/enrollee's language of preference, the CalHEERs
system will need programming changes.
Committee
Amendments: Narrow the definition of "forms and notices" to
only include application and renewal forms and notices of
action.
