The Newsom administration released its revised proposal for the California 2026-27 budget on May 14, which includes the reinstatement of the Medi-Cal asset limit at $2,000 for individuals/$3,000 for couples and cuts to the In-Home Supportive Services program.
We’ve developed an analysis to help policymakers, advocates, and community-based organizations understand the implications of these budget proposals. Our analysis offers:
- A breakdown of California proposals likely to affect older adults and people with disabilities
- Key insights into the budget implications of H.R. 1
- Quick-reference tables to surface the most important takeaways at a glance
This analysis builds on our proposed budget brief by providing deeper, updated insight into potential impacts of evolving budget decisions. It is designed to help stakeholders stay informed as proposals change, track emerging shifts in real time, and anticipate what may unfold in the final budget. We will continue to monitor the budget process as it develops and will release an updated analysis on the final budget later this summer. Access the analysis.
