Medi-Cal on Tax Form But Became Ineligible Years Ago?

Hi all.

I just got my health insurance form for the 2024 tax year and it lists me as having Medi-Cal coverage from January through March of last year.

Thing is… I haven’t had Medi-Cal some at least 2021. Once I got my current job in summer 2021 I reported my income to the service immediately and was just as quickly kicked off and asked to choose a plan through Covered California.

I had a plan that I paid into for a little over a year on the CC Plan, up until I got married, at which point I reported the life change again, did not re-enroll, and got onto my spouse’s healthcare plan. This showed up as a blow on our taxes in 2023, but I’ve had no issues since then.

I’d gotten a few requests from the Department of Health Care Services asking me to reapply for Medi-Cal and telling me that the deadline to apply was coming up, but I just assumed that they were sent in error since I hadn’t been using Medi-Cal for a few years by that point. I’d also received texts saying to use my healthcare, but when I could never get through to speak to someone using the number provided.

Has anybody ever heard of this happening? Or have any explanation? Am I gonna get in trouble for this somehow? Obviously I’m going to call tomorrow, but hoping someone has insight as to what could have happened.
