加州全州自動福利系統（CalSAWS）第一波遷移​​  

On October 31, 2022, Placer and Yolo counties will join the 40 counties that comprise the CalSAWS consortium. California’s 58 counties are currently split between two eligibility and enrollment systems: California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids Information Network (CalWIN) and CalSAWS, with the expectation that the 18 CalWIN counties will migrate into CalSAWS by December 31, 2023. Placer and Yolo counties will be the first wave of CalWIN counties migrating to CalSAWS. Placer and Yolo counties will also migrate to the statewide application portal, BenefitsCal— residents of these counties can apply for benefits and create an account with BenefitsCal starting on October 31.​​ 

為了完成遷移，這兩個縣將從 10 月 27 日（星期四）下午 6 點開始無法使用 CalWin，直到普拉塞爾和約洛縣在 10 月 31 日（星期一）上午 8 點在 CalSAW 活躍為止。 在 10 月 28 日（星期五）的這個停機期間，普萊瑟和約洛縣的社會服務辦公室將開放，並可以解決緊急服務。 CalWin 縣將繼續訪問 CalWin 系統環境，因此縣工作人員可以查看當前的案例信息並發行 Medi-Cal 福利識別卡。 此外，CalWin 網站（MyBenefitsCalwin）將引導申請人和受益人到縣網站和加州覆蓋州以申請福利。其他 16 個卡爾溫縣不應該造成干擾。​​

加利福尼亞樞軸線系統（CA H & SS）申請申請（RFA）​​ 

10 月 31 日，DHCS 將為 CA H & SS 發放總額 51.3 萬美元的 RFA，用於 1 月 1、2023 至 30, 2024 的項目活動。 CA H & SS 將改善邊緣人群的接受藥輔助治療（MAT）的機會；改善 MAT 提供者基礎設施，擴大服務時間和適當的遠程醫療服務；並將患者群體從個人擴大到包括家庭，以最大限度地提高恢復資金，支持家庭恢復能力並減少治療。​​ 

Entities may apply to receive up to $1 million annually to fund prevention, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery of opioid and substance use disorders. Any Medi-Cal providers licensed to provide MAT services in California will be eligible to apply. This funding will be used to further the development and implementation of regional “Hubs” (Regional Centers of Excellence in MAT) and “Spokes” (any federally approved DATA-2000 waivered prescribers who prescribe or dispense buprenorphine) that collectively coordinate on outreach, patient services, and training and technical assistance to enhance the opioid and substance use continuum of care. The RFA will be posted on the Advocates for Human Potential website.​​

Following the public comment timeline, DHCS will submit the STP to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for final approval.

The webinar will provide interested stakeholders with a detailed overview of the pilot and more information on an upcoming Request for Information from DHCS. There will also be time for Q&A at the end of the presentation. All HIEs/CIEs, counties, MCPs, and providers interested in piloting the ASCMI Form in a consent management service are invited to attend.​​
