| Item 08-03-01A Paraphrased Regulations |
This version of the paraphrased regulations provides 25 additions and nine revisions to the paraphrased regulations. There are also three deleted paraphrased regulations and four renumbered paraphrased regulations.
The major additions are in updates to paraphrased regulations regarding annual cost of living increases relevant to the Aged and Disabled Federal Poverty Level Program and the CAPI program, an expansion of conditional CAPI benefits for persons who become naturalized citizens while receiving CAPI, clarification of the second contact requirement for Medi-Cal applicants, and Medi-Cal interpretation and policies concerning Endowment Life Insurance contracts, as well as others.
Beginning with this update, we will be adding a feature which will allow you to click on the citation in the index to find the source document. At this time, you will only find the links on the updated sections. We hope to complete the rest of the sections before the next update.
