More than 2,300 DACA recipients in California are expected to lose their health insurance coverage through Covered California in the coming month. This change comes after a new federal rule redefined the term “lawfully present,” excluding DACA recipients from the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Covered California's Executive Director, Jessica Altman, expressed concern, noting that while emergency care remains available, services such as routine checkups and chronic disease management will no longer be accessible under ACA plans.
DACA recipients may still qualify for Medi-Cal based on income and other criteria. Covered California is working with over 14,000 enrollment partners—including trusted agencies like Only Insurance Services—to guide impacted individuals toward alternative coverage options.

📢 Miles de Beneficiarios de DACA en California Perderán su Cobertura Médica

Más de 2,300 beneficiarios de DACA en California perderán su seguro médico a través de Covered California en el próximo mes. Esto se debe a un cambio en la normativa federal que excluye a los recipientes de DACA del significado de “presencia legal” según la Ley de Cuidado de Salud a Bajo Precio (ACA).
Jessica Altman, directora ejecutiva de Covered California, explicó que aunque la atención de emergencia aún está disponible, los servicios como chequeos regulares y el manejo de enfermedades crónicas ya no estarán cubiertos.
Los beneficiarios de DACA todavía pueden calificar para Medi-Cal si cumplen con los requisitos de ingresos y otros criterios. Covered California está colaborando con más de 14,000 socios de inscripción, incluidos agentes certificados como Only Insurance Services, para ayudar a las personas a encontrar opciones de cobertura alternativas.
