The 2024-25 Budget: California Student Aid Commission
For more than 20 years, the state has provided Cal Grants as entitlements to recent high school graduates as well as transfer students under age 28. In 2021‑22, the state also began providing Cal Grants as entitlements to community college students, regardless of their age and time out of high school. The state currently provides approximately 162,000 new entitlement awards annually. The state also provides a limited number of competitive awards (13,000 new awards annually) to students who do not qualify for an entitlement award—typically older students attending four‑year universities. The state recently adopted plans to potentially replace this program structure in 2024‑25, as the box below describes.

Cal Grant Reform
State Has Plans to Restructure Cal Grants, Subject to Trigger Provision. In the 2022‑23 budget package, the state adopted a potential restructuring of the Cal Grant program, commonly referred to as “Cal Grant reform.” Cal Grant reform would replace the existing award types with a Cal Grant 2 award that provides nontuition coverage to community college students and a Cal Grant 4 award that provides tuition coverage at all other segments. Cal Grant reform would also make several key changes to program eligibility, including (1) removing grade point average requirements for community college recipients, (2) removing age and time out of high school requirements for recipients at all other segments, and (3) aligning income ceilings with the generally lower ceilings used in the federal Pell Grant program. Under the enacted trailer legislation, Cal Grant reform would be triggered in 2024‑25 if the state determines in spring 2024 that sufficient General Fund is available to support it over a multiyear period. Based on the California Student Aid Commission’s most recent estimates, Cal Grant reform would increase program spending by $245 million in 2024‑25. The administration indicates it intends to determine whether Cal Grant reform conditions have been met at the May Revision. Under current revenue projections, the trigger conditions would not be met.

Cost Estimates
Governor’s Budget Reflects Upward Revision to 2023‑24 Cal Grant Spending.
The 2024-25 Budget: Medi-Cal Analysis
By contrast, without the proposed fund shift, the reserve would be around $4 billion in 2026‑27, enough to cover the augmentations over a somewhat longer period of time. (The reserve would be even larger in 2026‑27 were the state to renew the MCO tax in 2027, with the amount of funds depending on the size of the future version of the tax.)

Assessment
In Concept, Tax Increase Worth Considering. As we emphasized in The 2023‑24 Budget: Analysis of the Medi‑Cal Budget, enacting an MCO tax makes budgetary sense. The tax is a key source of support for the Medi‑Cal program while imposing a minimal cost on the health insurance industry.

Package Anticipated Funding Shortfall in Future, After Reserve Funds Are Fully Spent. At the time the Legislature enacted the new version of the MCO tax, DHCS staff emphasized the next version following this one likely would not be as large. This is because DHCS reported that federal administrators, in private discussions with the department, signaled intent to change the rules around approving taxes like the MCO tax in the future. Recognizing this risk, last year’s package anticipated some funds in the Medi‑Cal Provider Payment Reserve Fund would be held in reserve and be available, along with funds from a much smaller future MCO tax, to sustain the augmentations after the end of the term of this tax. The administration stated at the time that the reserve would be fully spent around the end of 2029. Absent the Legislature modifying the augmentations or identifying another fund source, the shortfall would fall on the General Fund to backfill.

COVID-19 Testing At VA | Veterans Affairs
Your VA or community care provider will also call you with your test results when they’re available. If you have concerns about your results, call or send a secure message to your provider.

What to do while you wait for your results

Continue to follow safe practices. These include practices like wearing a mask, physical distancing, and washing your hands often. Until you get your results, you won’t know if you have an active infection or not.
Monitor your symptoms. If your symptoms get worse, contact your provider or nearest VA health facility. To get reminders for when to contact your care team or a nurse advice line, you can use our Annie text messaging service.
Subscribe to the Annie text messaging service

If you have any signs of emergency, call 911 or get help right away. Signs of emergency include symptoms like trouble breathing or continued pain or pressure in your chest.
Get the latest COVID-19 symptom information on the CDC website

Note: If you call your facility’s nurse advice line, please know that our nurses can’t give you your test results. They can answer health-related questions. But they don’t have access to your personal health information.

What to do next based on your lab test results

 If your lab test results are positive 
 

This means you had an active infection at the time of testing.

Talk with your provider right away. If you need treatment, you must start it early for it to work. Some treatments must start within 5 days of your first symptoms.
Monitor your symptoms. If your symptoms get worse, contact your provider or nearest VA health facility. To get reminders for when to contact your care team or a nurse advice line, you can use our Annie text messaging service.
