BILL NUMBER:  SB 1002
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2014




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 1002 without my signature.

The bill would require the Department of Health Care Services to seek
federal permission to use an individual's CalFresh eligibility
information to redetermine that same individual's eligibility for
Medi-Cal; similarly, the bill would also require the Department of
Social Services to seek federal permission to use an individual's
Medi-Cal eligibility information to determine or redetermine
eligibility for CalFresh.

Each department is working with the appropriate controlling federal
agency to use existing program eligibility information to accomplish
the goals of the bill.

I appreciate the support of the Legislature, but this bill is not
necessary.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
